................................................... 107 3 SUMMARY On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and the Adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995), the United Nations Economic and Social Council decided that at its sixty-fourth session, in 2020, the Commission on the Status of Women will undertake a review and apprisal of progress made in implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the outcomes of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly, including an assessment of the current challenges encountered in the implementation of the Platform for Action and the achievement of gender equality and empowerment of women as well as its contribution towards the full realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Council called upon all states to undertake comprehensive national-level reviews of the progress made. In order to examine the comprehensive review at the national level, it has been made the REPORT OF MONTENEGRO ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BEIJING DECLARATION AND PLATFORM FOR ACTION (BPfA) AND 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (2030 AGENDA). The report is methodologically based on the Guidance note for comprehensive national-level reviews prepared by UN- Women in collaboration with Regional Commission of the United Nations to help conduct a comprehensive review. For the first time, in 2020, the full review of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action will be done in parallel with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Consequently, the Report of Montenegro on the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA) AND 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda), considers the progress in the view of laws, policies and strategies; institutional mechanisms for gender equality; transformation of discriminatory norms and gender stereotypes; investment to cover gaps in resources; responsibilities for existing obligations and capacity building, data collection, monitoring and evaluation. Achievements are evaluated on the basis of evidence as well as obstacles and challenges in these areas. The Report of Montenegro synthesizes the progress over the last five years (approximately 2014 - 2019). The Report of Montenegro on the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA) AND 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development contains: 4 ➢ Chapter 1 - macro analysis of priorities, achievements, challenges and failures, with a focus on the past five years (i.e. from 2014 to 2019); as well as with a focus on new and emerging priorities for the future. ➢ Chapter 2 - a more detailed analysis of the measures taken to improve gender equality in 12 critical areas of importance for the BPfA with a focus on the last five years. Answers to questions that encourage thinking about how the BPfA and 2030 Agenda can be implemented, mutually reinforcing ways to accelerate progress for all women and girls. For each of the areas, concrete examples of undertaken measures, challenges and achievements and used documentation data were provided, there where data were available. ➢ Chapter 3 - national processes and mechanisms for implementation and monitoring

  • Montenegro Guidebook
    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

  • Anthropology of Gender in Montenegro. an Introduction
    Comp. Southeast Europ. Stud. 2021; 69(1): 5–18 In the Name of the Daughter. Anthropology of Gender in Montenegro Čarna Brković* In the Name of the Daughter – Anthropology of Gender in Montenegro. An Introduction https://doi.org/10.1515/soeu-2021-2013 Gender in Montenegro In 2012 international organizations warned that Montenegro is one of the world’s leaders in sex-selective abortion, with as a result significantly fewer births of babies recognized as girls.1 Initially, that piece of data seemed to attract little attention, but that changed after a few years. NGOs working on women’srightsorganizedcampaigns advocating against the practice of sex-selective abortion; German journalists came to Montenegro and reported on them; the Montenegrin national newspaper Pobjeda stopped publishing information on the genders of new-born children and began reporting births gender-neutrally instead. In dominant media and NGO discourses, sex- selective abortion was interpreted as the result of the patriarchal backwardness of the country, where sons were more valued and, therefore, more wanted than daughters. The collection of articles in front of you explores how to look beyond the balkanist discourse to understand abortion and other gendered practices in Montenegro.2 It articulates anthropological criticism of patriarchy, misogyny, and gender inequality in Montenegro without reiterating the common tropes about 1 United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) data reveal that Montenegro is one of the top eleven countries in the world for sex imbalance at birth; that is in the difference between the numbers of boys and girls.

  • 20120828 Lekic Montenegro's EU Accession, Briefing Paper
    MONTENEGRO’S ACCESSION TO THE EU: TAKING STOCK AND SUGGESTING AREAS FOR PROGRESS Maša Lekić Abstract With the opening of the EU accession negotiations at the end of June 2012, Montenegro has been awarded with recognition of making progress in the past years and endorsing its political dedication to become an EU member. As a candidate state and a relatively young country at the international stage, Montenegro is particularly devoted to joining the Union. In order to fulfill the EU membership criteria, Montenegro is focusing on matching the political and economic criteria set by the EU, implementing the acquis communautaire (the EU legislation), and endorsing the EU principles of: democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and protection for minority groups, as well as economic criteria. Nevertheless, Montenegro is still facing obstacles in reform implementation, the most challenging being public administration reform, reforming the judicial system and strengthening the rule of law, protecting minority rights, enhancing media freedom and fighting corruption and organized crime. The Global Governance Institute has identified three major challenges obstructing Montenegro’s path to EU membership: protection of women's rights, overcoming regional differences and reforming the judicial system.

  • Culture for Development Indicators in Montenegro
    CULTURE FOR DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS IN MONTENEGRO The Culture for Development Indicators (CDIS) demonstrate the enabling and driving role of culture in sustainable development. Thanks to an innovative methodology, this advocacy and policy tool examines through facts and figures the multidimensional relationship between culture and development. The analysis of 7 key dimensions of culture and development, through the assessment of 22 core indicators, responds to the needs and circumstances of low and middle- income countries. The wealth of quantitative data produced through the implementation of the CDIS promotes better-informed cultural policies and the integration of culture in development strategies, thus contributing to the implementation of the 2005 UNESCO Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. The CDIS methodology is the outcome of a four year (2009-2013) applied research process. By the end of 2013, it had been tested and implemented in 11 countries around the world, demonstrating its potential for policy impact. Due to the CDIS’ success and consequential demand at the country level, implementation has continued beyond the original test phases, expanding the CDIS Global Database to include additional countries. Montenegro began implementation of the CDIS in February 2015 and completed the process in April 2015. This Brief summarizes the results, implementation details and impact the CDIS project had in Montenegro. AT A GLANCE: SECURING CULTURE’S PLACE ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA AND TAKING

Although improvements were made, impact of female MPs remains unclear and is perceived by the public as rather low. With expected rise of number of female MPs in elections on 16 October 2016, set of measures ensuring their visibility is necessary in order to be able to call Montenegro a parliamentary democracy.
