The Ministry of European Affairs of Montenegro is a central government ministry responsible for directing and coordinating the country's accession process to the European Union. It oversees the harmonization of national legislation with the EU acquis, manages accession negotiations across chapters, and coordinates EU pre-accession assistance funds. Originally established as an independent ministry in 2016, it was temporarily absorbed into the European Integration Office under the Prime Minister's cabinet in 2018 before being re-established as a standalone ministry in 2022.
