Description
The report at hand is intended to provide independent information and observations prior to the publication of the European Commission’s Montenegro Progress Report 2013, on the level of reforms undertaken in the areas of judicial reform, anti-corruption, protection of human rights and the development of civil society from the date of the EC Montenegro Progress Report 2012, ended with 10 April 2013. Overview of the state in all areas is accompanied by specific recommendations for the improvement of the state, implementation of which, in our opinion, is necessary before the official opening of the negotiation process between Montenegro and the European Union on Chapter 23. A special segment of the report is devoted to the recommendations to the European Commission to upgrade the manner of reporting on Montenegro’s progress, so as to contribute to ensuring the full transparency in the negotiation process and to take specific measures in judicial reform, fight against corruption and protection of human rights in accordance with its competences.
