The United States Embassy in Podgorica supports specific projects and initiatives that facilitate the engagement of Montenegrin citizens in criminal justice reform efforts through grant awards up to $50,00 0. The main goal of the program is to help Montenegro transition to a more effective and transparent
criminal justice system by engaging citizens in the process through watchdog and monitoring activities, advocacy and policy-making, research, and public education.
Grants are awarded to local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), media, or other organizations that have a proven track record in the criminal justice field and good organizational capacities.
