4.4 Mission to Montenegro
to limit illicit drug production and trafficking, and support
victims of drug abuse.
Trafficking in Human Beings & Migrationrelated Crime
From 11 to 13 June, the Mission, in partnership with the
National Coordinator’s Office for Combating Human
Trafficking of Montenegro, organized a workshop in
Podgorica dedicated to the preparation of the “2019-2024
Draft National Strategy for Combating THB” and the 2019
Action Plan, both of which are expected to be adopted in early
2019. The activity is part of the Mission’s efforts to address
transnational threats to security and is a continuation of its
support provided in preparing key documents on the issue.
In October and November, as part of the Mission’s ongoing
efforts to support the government to protect, identify and
assist potential victims of THB, the Mission organized
four two-day workshops on countering THB. Some
50 representatives from the Prosecutor’s Office, Police
Directorate and the judiciary were given an opportunity to
strengthen their capacities to understand and safeguard the
rights of THB victims by examining relevant case studies and
other mechanisms to identify victims and investigate cases.
On 12 December, the “Guidelines on General Principles
Regarding Non-punishment Provisions for Victims of
THB” were presented in Podgorica to Montenegrin police
officers, State prosecutors and judges. These guidelines were
developed in co-ordination with the MoI’s National Office for
the Fight against THB in support of Montenegro’s institutions
to fight organized crime and corruption. The guidelines were
designed to assist the authorities in ensuring that the human
rights of trafficked victims are fully respected.
