Montenegro has introduced new legislative measures aimed at resource management and regulatory alignment. The government submitted a proposal for a law on state commodity reserves to parliament, designed to regulate the storage and use of essential supplies—including food, medicine, and raw materials—during emergencies or market disruptions. This law would allow the state to control retail prices for reserve goods to protect consumers during crises.

Concurrently, authorities presented a new Law on Chemicals intended to align Montenegrin legislation with European Union standards. The law focuses on the safe management of chemicals, registration requirements, and the monitoring of ‘Substances of Very High Concern’ to protect human health and the environment.
