On 22 and 23 November 2018, Montenegro authorities, coordinated by the Anti-money laundering agency of Montenegro, are starting the process of updating the National Anti-Money Laundering/Financing of Terrorism Risk Assessment (NRA) with a two-day workshop. The workshop will be held at Hotel Centre Ville, Podgorica.
The workshop will be opened by the Minister of Finance of Montenegro Darko Radunovic; the Head of Cooperation of the Delegation of the European Union to Montenegro Hermann Spitz; the Head of the Anti-money laundering Agency Vesko Lekic, and the Head of Programme Office of Council of Europe in Podgorica Angela Longo.
Ninety (90) representatives from 37 participating institutions and companies will take part in the workshop on update of the NRA by discussing the analysis of such crimes-related threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation measures. Such comprehensive analysis will ultimately lead to strengthening the national security in the country.
The workshop is organized within the framework of the Action against Economic Crime project in Montenegro, which is a part of the programme Horizontal Facility for Western Balkans and Turkey funded by the European Union and co-funded and implemented by the Council of Europe.
Media are invited to attend the opening of the event.
