The State Prosecution Service of Montenegro has initiated the development of its new Communication Strategy for the period 2026–2028 and the accompanying Action Plan for 2026. This initiative, supported by the European Union and the Council of Europe’s programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkiye”, marks the third consecutive strategic framework aimed at strengthening rule of law institutions in Montenegro.
Building on previous achievements, the forthcoming strategy will be tailored to the current realities, expectations, and priorities of the prosecution system. It will address the growing need for open, proactive, and responsible institutional communication. To that end, the action Strengthening accountability of the judicial system and enhancing protection of victims' rights in Montenegro is providing targeted expert support and steering an inclusive consultative process. This includes a series of stakeholder discussions and a dedicated workshop for drafting the Strategy, held on 24–25 November in Podgorica.
The new Strategy aims to improve transparency, strengthen media relations, and develop communication channels that are accessible and understandable to citizens. By embedding communication as an integral component of institutional performance, the prosecution service seeks to foster greater trust, combat misinformation, and ensure that justice institutions are perceived as credible, accountable, and responsive.
Ultimately, the adoption of the new Strategy will assist the prosecution service in clearly communicating its role, results, and responsibilities contributes not only to public confidence but also to broader efforts to build a stronger, more open, and citizen-oriented judiciary.
