Montenegro Customs Administration internal developments

Overview

The Customs Administration of Montenegro has undergone significant internal shifts involving labor organization and legal scrutiny. On September 18, 2026, the administration formed a new labor union led by Siniša Raičević. The union joined the Union of Administration and Justice of Montenegro, citing decades of neglected employee issues and a need to combat preferential treatment and declining institutional integrity.

Following this, on September 22, 2026, the Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into allegations that the selection process for the Customs Administration Director was rigged. Criminal complaints were filed against several officials, including the Director of Human Resources and the Head of the Advertising Department, on suspicion of abuse of official position. The investigation also involves the acting secretary of the Ministry of European Affairs regarding the potential use of a falsified document to prove management experience during the competition period between May and June 2026.
