Housing: Montenegro’s housing-cost overburden rate was 8.7% in 2025, above the EU average of 7.7%, with more than 40% of disposable income going to housing for those affected. Fisheries: Montenegro backed a proposal to extend Mediterranean deep-sea trawling restrictions, but the measure was blocked at a regional fisheries meeting; it is expected to return next year.
