德国总理弗里德里希·默茨周四表示，黑山正按计划即将加入欧盟。
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Thursday that Montenegro is on track to join the European Union soon.
在黑山主办的“柏林进程”峰会后发言时，默茨强调，西巴尔干地区通往欧盟的道路必须不可逆转。他将扩大视为地缘政治当务之急，以免该地区沦为大国争夺影响力的竞技场。
Speaking after a Berlin Process summit hosted by Montenegro, Merz stressed that the Western Balkans’ route into the EU must become irreversible. He described enlargement as a geopolitical imperative so the region does not turn into an arena where major powers compete for influence.
“黑山正处于即将加入欧盟的最佳轨道上。其他国家必须并将会随之而来，”默茨说。他将这种紧迫性与俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争联系起来，指出只有共同融入欧洲单一市场和欧盟机构，才能带来持久稳定。
“Montenegro is on the best path to join the EU soon. Others must and will follow,” Merz said. He linked the urgency to Russia’s war against Ukraine, noting that only a shared perspective inside the European single market and the institutions of the EU can deliver lasting stability.
关于欧盟成员国克罗地亚与候选国黑山之间仍影响两个剩余谈判章节的未决双边问题，默茨说，这些问题已在上周四于布鲁塞尔举行的欧盟峰会上进行了讨论。他补充说，自己也曾直接与克罗地亚总理就这些问题进行过交谈。
Regarding open bilateral issues between EU member Croatia and candidate country Montenegro that still affect two remaining negotiating chapters, Merz said the matters had been discussed at the EU summit in Brussels the previous Thursday. He added that he had also spoken directly with Croatia’s prime minister about the issues.
“我知道黑山和克罗地亚正就这两个剩余议题进行非常深入且建设性的讨论，”默茨说。“黑山在这方面已做出非常具体的决定，铺平了前进道路。我非常有信心克罗地亚最后的保留意见能够得到解决。我不认为这些保留意见足以阻碍黑山加入欧盟，”他补充说，这一评估为两国总理所共享。
“I know that there is a very intensive and constructive discussion between Montenegro and Croatia on these two remaining topics,” Merz said. “Montenegro has already taken very concrete decisions in this regard, paving the way forward. I am very confident that the final reservations held by Croatia can be resolved. I do not consider them significant enough to stand in the way of Montenegro’s membership in the EU,” he said adding that this assessment was shared by both prime ministers.
