Description
Montenegro as a state with constitutionally proclaimed rights on equality of all its citizens will have to dedicate serious efforts in the upcoming period to resolving problems that Roma and Egyptian population faces. This means creating conditions for inclusion of Roma and Egyptian in social and economic flows of the state. Having in mind that Montenegro is in the first phase of the EU accession negotiation process, the issue of efficient and sustainable solution to RE population problems will be one of the key preconditions for progress in chapters 19 – Social policy and employment, 23 – Judiciary and fundamental rights and 24 – Justice, freedom and security. Bearing in mind that implementation of the EU acquis is very demanding in the area of social integration and, also, very expensive process, the EU available resources and funds can significantly facilitate resolving of this issue.
