In a handover ceremony, which took place in Podgorica on 8 October 2020, the Montenegrin Police Directorate received a donation of new equipment jointly from the European Union, the Council of Europe and the US Embassy in Montenegro. The Council of Europe invested into software development of a new system for collection, processing and analysis of financial intelligence data. The upgraded hardware equipment addresses one of the highest priorities identified by the Financial Intelligence Unit and contributes to the implementation of the Council of Europe’s MONEYVAL recommendation requiring development of a suitable IT tool in order to enhance the FIU’s analytical output.
The new Case Management System is being developed within the EU/Council of Europe joint programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022”, Action against Economic Crime in Montenegro funded by the EU and the Council of Europe and implemented by Economic Crime and Co-operation Division of Council of Europe.
