• The exact 64% figure for Montenegro from the 2025 EU Perception Survey could not be located in a directly accessible primary source during verification. However, the European Commission's own summary of a more recent survey (June 2026) confirms support in Montenegro remains 'more than 60%', which is consistent with the claimed 64%.
• The survey data was published in September 2025, making it approximately 9 months old at the time of the MEP's statement. More recent 2026 survey data was available but would not alter the claim about the 2025 survey.
• The speaker is European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, who has direct institutional access to these Commission surveys; her citation of internal Commission data carries authoritative weight.
