This page is hosting case studies developed during our research of possible cases of corruption, conflict of interest and/or other law violations in area of spatial planning and development in Montenegro.
Each case study is based on concrete documents and information obtained from public institutions based on the Law on Free Access to Information, documents submitted by citizens reporting corruption and/or whistle-blowers from state institutions.
Many of the cases studies have resulted with concrete criminal appeals submitted to Supreme State Prosecutors, most of them still pending in Prosecutor’s Office.
