Montenegro’s fight against corruption finally got a strategy! But is this the real start of the end for corruption, or just another empty promise? In 2023, a strategy was adopted that was supposed to change the game, because until then, Montenegro had no serious plan to tackle this plague. The Prime Minister and head of the National Council for the Fight Against Corruption, Momo Koprivica, clearly stated that until now, there was a serious lack of will to prevent corruption.
But hold on, it’s not all black and white! This strategy is part of the obligations Montenegro must fulfill to get a positive report from the EU, which means it might be more about external pressure than an internal desire for change.
While politicians boast about adopting the strategy, citizens still watch corruption seep into every corner of society. Will this strategy really bring change, or will it end up as just another dusty paper?
Meanwhile, Montenegro is seeing revenue growth and a rise in tourists, but does that mean corruption will finally be minimized?
Got thoughts on whether this strategy is just a farce or the real deal? Drop a comment and let’s figure out what’s really going on behind the scenes!
