Uticaj procesa evropeizacije na političke partije u Crnoj Gori

The process of Europeanization in the post- socialist states is strongly linked to their democratic transition and consolidation (Fink- Hafner, 2007). Some scholars believe that Montenegro has democratically consolidated in the aftermath of the 2006 referendum on independence. We argue that it is more likely that the process of fulfling political criteria set by the European Union represents a continuation of the process of the country’s democratic consolidation. In this context, we focus on the Europeanization of political parties in Montenegro as one of the consequences of the EU’s ’political pressure on candidate states to fulfll its expectations’ (Ibid). In order to determine the level of impact of Europeanization on Montenegrin political parties, we used three criteria developed by Fink-Hafner (Ibid). In addition, we aimed to identify similarities and differences between the current political situation in Montenegro and the 1998 Slovakia’s democratizing experience. To that goal, we sought to explore the odds for the EU ‘intervention’ in Montenegro’s domestic party system due to the potential lack of the accession process-related political reforms.
