Description

Procedures for employment of foreigners were simplified and made more transparent. The Government of Montenegro implemented the reform of employment of foreigners, resulting in reducing numerous deadlines for state authorities decision-making, while some of the procedures were abolished. Efforts in the next period will be aimed at transparency of procedures by printing brochures on employment of foreigners and distribution of material at border-crossing points, employers’ offices, the Employment Office, and other relevant institutions.
