In Montenegro, the NGO ‘Center for Children’s Rights’ has called for increased oversight of foster families. This demand follows reports of child exploitation and long-term violence within the foster care system. 

The organization is challenging the adequacy of current monitoring regulations, which require professional support at least every 50 days. The NGO proposes that substantive inspections occur at least once a month, and that in instances involving reports of neglect or violence, inspections should be unannounced and more frequent to ensure child safety.
