Estate Administration of Montenegro SEP Stakeholder Engagement Plan SES Socio-Economic Survey TA Transport Administration of Montenegro July 2020 Page iii Tranche 3 ESIA Disclosure Package / Stakeholder Engagement Plan 1 Introduction 1.1 Background The European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering providing finance to the Transport Administration (TA) of Montenegro to finance the rehabilitation and upgrade, and works supervision, of a 16 km section of the M-2 road between Tivat and Jaz in the south west of the country (“the Project”). Given the scale and nature of the Project, EBRD has assigned the Project to Category A under its Environmental and Social Policy 2014. As such a comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is required, followed by public disclosure of the ESIA for a minimum of 120 days. An Environmental Impact Assessment has already been undertaken in accordance with Montenegrin law and guidance (the “national EIA”) and submitted to the Montenegrin Nature and Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). The national EIA was subject to public disclosure and consultation in December 2019, NEPA Commission’s first review in early 2020, and subsequent clarifications by the TA. Following a final review NEPA awarded the ecological permit (a precondition for the construction permit) in April 2020. This SEP describes the engagement activities being undertaken for the Project during planning, construction and operation. It has been prepared alongside the ESIA documentation prepared for the purposes of the Project. Stakeholder engagement refers to a process of sharing information and knowledge, seeking to understand the concerns of others, and building relationships based on trust and collaboration. It is essential for the successful implementation of the ESIA and the Project itself. This SEP is designed to meet both Montenegrin national legislative requirements and the EBRD’s Performance Requirements (PRs), specifically PR10: Information Disclosure and Stakeholder Engagement (see Section 3). 1.2 SEP Objectives This SEP has been developed to provide a robust framework for stakeholder engagement throughout the life of the Project that is effective, meaningful, consistent, comprehensive, coordinated and culturally appropriate. Stakeholder engagement is an ongoing process and this SEP will continue to be updated and adjusted as the Project progresses. Through the implementation of a well-planned stakeholder engagement process, the Project aims to: • generate a good understanding of the Project amongst stakeholders; • ensure timely information disclosure and engagement opportunities on an ongoing basis, including for those who may be more sensitive to Project impacts; • engage with stakeholders regarding the Project’s environmental and social risks and impacts; and the proposed measures to mitigate and manage them; • manage expectations about the Project; July 2020 Page 1 Tranche 3 ESIA Disclosure Package / Stakeholder Engagement Plan • discuss the grievance process for the Project, identifying the most appropriate mechanisms and providing feedback on issues raised; • monitor stakeholder engagement activities, responding to feedback and comments; and • create positive relationships with Project stakeholders. COVID-19 Restrictions on Stakeholder Engagement Restrictions associated with COVID-19 in Montenegro, including social distancing measures, may rule out some traditional stakeholder engagement and consultation approaches, which may exclude some stakeholders such as vulnerable people and/or those without internet and mobile phones. The TA is taking protective measures concerning COVID-19, and as the pandemic evolves is seeking advice from local and international health authorities while implementing stakeholder engagement and consultations required by national laws and EBRD. Relevant sections of this document (namely 5.5 Future Engagement) present alternative engagement measures accounting

Corruption in Spatial Planning and Development PREFACE Looking globally, the overall turnover in the construction industry is 3,200 billion dollars a year, which makes it very attractive for the organized crime structures. As for Montenegro, public largely fears that the money taken out of the country during the transition process is coming back and is laundered through construction of objects by the transition —winners“. That is at the same time the reason why those who dare speak about corruption in the construction industry are very rare. During the last years, construction of residential/business objects in Montenegro has been in expansion: multi-storey buildings are mainly constructed without construction license or inspection certificate, while space and environment are illegally destroyed. In the ecological state whose main developmental strategy is tourism, illegal construction significantly reduces tourist potentials and impedes their full development. The official data are not published, but it is estimated that in the last decade around 80% of objects have been illegally built. As a rule, market in the construction industry does not represent a regulatory mechanism that enables quality.
