Municipalities in Montenegro are implementing local action plans to increase school enrollment and social inclusion for Roma and Egyptian (RE) communities.

In Berane, officials reported a rise in RE child enrollment for the 2026/2027 school year. The municipality has focused on removing logistical barriers by providing financial support, transportation from settlements to schools, and essential supplies such as textbooks and clothing. Secretary Miloš Raković noted that these efforts are part of a local action plan prioritizing education.

Similarly, the Municipality of Bar has approved over 61,000 euros in subsidies to support 159 members of the RE communities. This funding is designated for school meals, general schooling costs, informal education, and sports club memberships, aiming to create equal opportunities for youth within these populations.
