Why some countries that are part of the euro zone are not part of the EU?

Actually, all countries that use the euro are part of the European Union (EU), as the euro is the official currency of EU member states. However, there are countries like Kosovo and Montenegro that use the euro without being EU members. These countries have unilaterally adopted the euro for practical reasons, but they do not have the same rights and obligations as EU member states. Thus, while all eurozone countries are EU members, some regions or territories may use the euro outside of EU membership.
