The final workshop on “National Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment of Montenegro” took place in Budva on 13-14 January 2020. The aim of the workshop was to discuss with the Working Groups the comments of the Council of Europe experts on the draft risk assessment report and recommendations for its further improvement along with the accompanying action plan.

Participants representing the FIU, Directorate of Police, Supreme State Prosecution, Security and Exchange Commission, Central Bank of Montenegro and Agency for Supervision of Insurance agreed on the timeframe for finalizing the NRA and Action Plan and on concrete steps to be taken for collection of missing data and ensuring the quality of the analysis.
