Abstract
There is an unambiguous will as well as significant public support for the EU membership present in Montenegro. Montenegrin reintegration in the Europe started with a law level of economic performances as a result of a decade long isolation and international sanctions. The transition in Montenegro is similar to transitions in other countries, within the meaning of ups and downs, regardless their internal or foreign, political or economic nature. However, Montenegro has chosen European option and its efforts in this direction will not be diminished.
On its way to the EU, Montenegro must develop the rule of law and economic system similar to one dominating in the European states, so that EU membership could just make a "fina! confirmation" of a good strategy. The process of economic integrations will influence the viability and competitiveness of the Montenegrin economy at the big European market.
