Montenegro is implementing regulatory reforms and capacity-building measures across its maritime and transport sectors to align with European Union standards.

In the maritime sector, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs approved 91 training programs following inspections prompted by European Maritime Safety Agency recommendations. The Ministry rejected 95 programs due to non-compliance regarding equipment, instructor qualifications, and documentation. While existing certifications remain valid, new training must be conducted through approved centers and programs.

In the transport sector, officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs completed training on smart tachographs and professional driver working hours. Supported by the European Union, this initiative aims to improve road safety and ensure the implementation of laws designed to align Montenegro with EU legislation.
