This report examines police reform in Montenegro between 2011 and 2019, focused on progress made in good governance in policing. This is the fourth assessment of police reform conducted by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro. Previous reports can be found here: “Police Reform in Montenegro 2006-2011: Assess¬ment and Recommendations”; 2001 and 2006. The research for the report was conducted in late summer and autumn of 2019 and as such, does not include developments in 2020, marked by protests, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 parliamentary elections which resulted in the first change of the governing majority in three decades. These events continue to have a strong impact on policing in Montenegro. The findings of the report are based on extensive desk research and interviews with 78 individuals from the Police Directorate and other Montenegrin authorities, as well as from civil society, media, and international organisations. The report notes significant developments in policing, identifies gaps and challenges and provides concrete recommendations for the Ministry of Interior, Police Directorate and other government institutions and the international community, which should form the basis for future constructive discussions.
