The Action against Economic Crime in Montenegro (AEC-MNE) organised series of consultation meetings with the Montenegrin Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, the Special Prosecution, its Special Police Unit and the Basic Court in Podgorica to discuss mechanisms for the protection of whistleblowers granted by the Montenegrin legislation and the current challenges in its implementation.

Following the initial meetings the AEC-MNE will develop specific Guidelines for judges, prosecutors, civil servants and police on protection of whistleblowers. The purpose of these guidelines is to define concrete procedures to be followed upon reception of request for protection by a whistleblower, and to provide concrete tools for each target group to address this issue.
