Abstract

More than two decades have passed since Montenegro introduced the strategic approach to judicial reform. The quality of policy documents, but also the intensity of reform processes varied over the time, being intensified mostly when the strong political support to Montenegro EU accession processes existed. Considering the importance of the present reform momentum, as for the future of Montenegro judiciary as for its EU accession processes, in this paper, the authors address the main findings on the current state of play judicial reform in Montenegro. The paper also provides the recommendations on the necessary steps to be taken in order to foster those processes towards a full fulfilment of the Interim Benchmarks (IBMs) in Chapter 23 and receiving the Interim Benchmark Assessment Report (IBAR), since this is the precondition to obtain the closing benchmarks and to enter the final stage of negotiations in Chapter 23.
