Since 2013, IDLO’s work in Montenegro has focused on strengthening the country’s justice sector, ensuring it is accessible, accountable and responsive to people’s evolving needs.
We partner with national institutions to build capacity within the judiciary, strengthen the enforcement of competition laws, and support frameworks for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as commercial mediation.
Over the years, these efforts have yielded notable results – enhancing training programmes for judges and prosecutors, fostering a fair business environment and promoting regional cooperation on legal matters to ensure alignment with international standards.
IDLO has also assisted the Government of Montenegro in promoting accessible and fair dispute resolution methods, equipping the country’s justice sector to resolve commercial conflicts efficiently and support economic growth.
These initiatives play a significant role in supporting Montenegro’s pathway to European Union accession by helping the country meet EU standards in judicial independence, institutional integrity and fair business practices.
