At the request of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Dialogue of Montenegro, the European Centre conducted an analysis based on desktop research, of Montenegro’s “National Employment Strategy 2021-2025: the labour market response to global challenges” (herewith the Strategy). The report aims to assist the Montenegrin Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Dialogue in improving policy implementation.
The report assessed the Employment Strategy’s implementation status and provided evidence-based guidance for developing the National Employment Strategy (2026-2030). It focused on the Strategy’s measurability, relevance, coherence, consistency, and efficiency, aiming to strengthen strategic planning and alignment with national labour market priorities and EU policy priorities.
The report highlights that the current Strategy has laid the groundwork for Montenegro’s employment policy and the next National Employment Strategy, providing a framework for future policies and actions.
