Description

The primary objective of the study is the affirmation of accountability and transparency in the work of police officers, in the context of the contribution to the security sector reform (SSR) in Montenegro. The research included all important subjects. The list is long, with the aim of creating an objective study; our attempt was to follow up on the work of all relevant stakeholders. The importance of such research is multifaceted. First, the research identified all the problem areas related to different mechanisms for fighting against police corruption. In this way, we will be able to evaluate the current achievements, but we will try to highlight the changes that need to be taken to strengthen the existing mechanisms. Also, the study will contribute to increase the integrity, by indicating different aspects of accountability of police officers. Further, the study will provide informative material, available to the citizens in order to become familiar with it, and thus have access to all the problematic areas in which the access was rather limited. In the end, the goal of the study is to contribute to the overall efforts put forth to create a democratic police service, which shall, again, depend on the overall democratization of the society
