The Government of Montenegro has adopted the Judicial Reform Strategy 2024-2027 and Action Plan for its implementation 2024-2025 on 17 May 2024, with the aim to ensure the continuity of reform based on public policy long-term planning which began with the Judicial System Reform Project in 2000. It represents a systemic and long-term approach to improvement of the organisation and functioning of the judiciary of Montenegro and it strengthens the rule of law and access to justice for citizens.
Now, the strategic document is published and distributed to the relevant institutions and bodies, thus ensuring its accessibility to the professional and public. The publishing was supported by the action "Strengthening accountability of the judicial system and enhancing protection of victims' rights in Montenegro", which is part of the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye”.
Furthermore, the action has supported the development of the Fiscal Impact Analysis. The strategic approach to the reform of the judiciary is an integral part of addressing priorities and meeting the benchmarks defined within the negotiating process for Chapter 23 within the accession negotiations with the European Union.
