In the short-term, prospect for growth in Montenegro is dim. Medium-term prospects are also not stellar. The start of negotiations with the EU should boost foreign investments: a helpful development. However, given the need to reduce still further the current account deficit and consolidate public finances, rapid recovery cannot be expected. The government stands ready to ward off political and social disaffection, but at some point a credible opposition will have to come to the fore in order to provide the much-needed impetus to democratic stability.
