The European Union and Montenegro
Before 1998, assistance was mainly provided to Montenegro (as a part of the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) in the fields of humanitarian aid, assistance for
democratisation and support for independent media.
In April 1998 a €3 million Joint Action was adopted by the European Council.
The aim of this Joint Action was to provide rapid short-term assistance to the
new Government of Montenegro to continue its programme of economic and
political reform. In December 1998, a €5 million assistance programme was
agreed between the Commission and the Government of Montenegro. The
main objective of this programme was to promote and provide further impulse
to the process of political and economic reform in Montenegro in the medium
term, while easing the resulting social problems (i.e. unemployment or refugee
issues). The programme covered the fields of agriculture, transport, pubic
administration and education.
In May 1999 a Financing Agreement of €13 million was signed between the
Commission and the Government of Montenegro, as budgetary support to
alleviate expenditures incurred by the Montenegrin government related to the
influx of internally displaced persons/refugees as a result of the Kosovo crisis.

In July 1999, and following NATO air strikes in the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, the Commission approved a €2.5 million damage reconstruction
programme for Montenegro. It aimed to provide assistance for repairs at the
Plav municipality (a destroyed bridge and related civil facilities) and Podgorica
(the airport).
In September 1999, the Commission agreed direct budgetary assistance to the
Montenegrin government for €10.4 million. This assistance aims to support the
Republic’s balance of payments, related to imports of products linked to food
security problems. The Commission has also provided, specifically for
Montenegro and following the Kosovo crisis, significant amounts of
humanitarian aid implemented through ECHO, its humanitarian arm. (Some
€28 million in humanitarian aid has been allocated to Montenegro since 1992.)
In its meeting of March 23 and 24th 2000 in Lisbon, the European Council
indicated its support to Montenegro's efforts to achieve democratic reform and
economic prosperity. It underlined the urgent need for substantial assistance to
Montenegro in order to ensure the survival of the democratic government.
Two sets of funds were committed in 2000 – one for infrastructure construction
and repairs (€5 million) and the other for transport, agriculture, financial/fiscal
reform, education (€14 million).

As part of the state of Serbia & Montenegro, Montenegro is also part of the
Stabilisation and Association process. An Agreement is on offer to Serbia &
Montenegro, with EU help promised to meet the conditions in which it can
be signed.
Within the framework of the Stabilisation and Association Process, political
and economic relations between Serbia & Montenegro and the European
Union are advancing fast.
Montenegro benefit from European Commission assistance mostly
managed by the The European Agency for Reconstruction . This includes
macro-financial, humanitarian, democratisation, customs and fiscal planning
aid, support for higher education cooperation programmes, the CARDS
Regional Programme, and support for the EU Pillar of the United Nations
Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The region also receives
bilateral aid from EU Member States.
Zlatko Popovic

The EC assistance funds delegated to the Agency for management in 2006
amounted to some €244 million, most of it from the Community Assistance for
Reconstruction, Development and Stabilisation (CARDS) programme. Since
2000, the Agency has managed a cumulative total of some €2.86 billion of EU
taxpayers' money across its four operational centres. The Agency’s work is part
of the wider Stabilisation and Association Process – the EU’s key strategy for
the Western Balkans region. As the largest EU body managing assistance in
the Balkans, the Agency is helping the region achieve lasting peace and
prosperity, and progress towards eventual EU membership.
The Agency’s emphasis has evolved from post-conflict reconstruction to
helping countries with reform in areas such as justice and home affairs, public
administration and public finance, and economic development. Today,
programmes strengthen central and local administration, the police and the
judiciary, public finances, the agricultural, transport and energy sectors, the
environment and state utility providers.
