OSCE Mission to Montenegro
The Mission was established on 29 June 2006, following a request by the Government of Montenegro, after the country’s restoration of independence in the same year. With its headquarters in Podgorica, the Mission supports Montenegro with its reform agenda and further strengthening of its democratic institutions and governance, in line with OSCE commitments and principles.
