The U.S. Embassy is supporting ten trainings for government integrity managers to improve Montenegro’s ability to fight corruption and other forms of serious crime through the use of administrative law and actions.
At the opening of the training series on February 10, 2019, Senior Justice Advisor Erik Larson said “In a country where almost 90% of Montenegrins think that corruption is widely spread, and over 60% of the population thinks it is impossible to eradicate corruption we need to use all the available tools to fight corruption, including administrative measures, in order to root out the endemic corruption which is slowing Montenegro’s Euro-Atlantic integration.”
The United States has invested over 17 million dollars since 2010 to increase institutional capacity to tackle corruption and organized crime.
