REUNIR Confessionals
In this edition, Ambassador Petar Markovic, Head of the Mission of Montenegro to the EU, reflects on how REUNIR’s research supports Montenegro’s continued progress toward EU membership, answering the key question:
How is REUNIR’s research relevant and helpful to your work in helping Montenegro continue the path to EU membership?
Ambassador Markovic commends REUNIR’s conceptual framework, highlighting its clear thematic structure across security, socioeconomics, and democracy promotion, as well as its dual focus on threats and resilience. This comprehensive approach, he notes, creates a valuable comparative basis that allows EU members and candidate countries to better understand one another’s contexts and challenges.
He also points to the potential of REUNIR’s data presentation and visualisation methods to enhance policy analysis. The framework could be applied not only to REUNIR’s own research findings but also to the comparative assessment of the European Commission’s annual reports on candidate countries. By offering a clear, visually engaging way to interpret progress across key areas such as rule of law, democracy, and security, REUNIR’s methodology could make an important contribution to the EU enlargement process.
