The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica, through its INL Rule of Law, donated computer equipment and furniture to the new Montenegrin Shelter for Victims of Trafficking in Persons on May 26, 2020. INL Senior Justice Advisor Erik Larson and members of his team met with shelter representatives and pledged continued support to Montenegro in its fight against human trafficking.
Previous assistance has included training of criminal justice officials, targeted IT donations, and support in the formation of the first interagency Montenegrin Human Trafficking Task Force.
