Background | Montenegro is located in South-Eastern Europe at the coast of the Adriatic sea. According to the Montenegro Statistical office, the number of inhabitants in Montenegro by the end of 2015 was estimated at 622,000, with Podgorica being the largest city with population of 186,000. In 1991, Montenegro’s National Assembly declared the country to be an ecological State, committed to protecting the environment to the highest level. In 2007 a European Partnership was adopted and the Stabilisation and Association Agreement was signed, and in June 2012 accession negotiations have started. Montenegro has been receiving financial assistance from the EU since 1998. Currently the country receives the assistance through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA). The main objective of IPA is to help Montenegro to meet the challenges of European integration, to implement the reforms needed to fulfil EU requirements and make progress in the Stabilisation and Association Process. Alignment with the EU acquis under Chapter 27 of the accession negotiations, as well as build up the necessary administrative capacity for the implementation and enforcement of the legislation continue to be a focus of the objectives of IPA support in the environmental sector. IPA Regional Development Operational Programme sets multi-annual framework for IPA Programming until 2020, based on a hierarchy of objectives from strategic priorities down to individual measures, linked to selection criteria and performance targets, as the basis for preparing and choosing projects for funding. Under this component, European Union financial assistance for the environmental protection sector is directed at fulfilling the conditions to achieve the prescribed standards and comply in order to comply with the EU acquis. Montenegro has significantly changed its legal and policy framework for the environment and sustainable development. A new package of laws and corresponding secondary legislation has been adopted in order to comply with the EU environmental acquis, and the strategic framework for environment and sustainable development has been further developed. In order to achieve gradual and complete transposition and implementation of the entire EU acquis for Chapter 27 - Environment and Climate Change, Montenegro in 2016 adopted the National Strategy with Action Plan for transposition, implementation and enforcement of the EU acquis on Environment and Climate Change (the Strategy with AP) 2016-2020. |
