Members of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption participated in a two day workshop on prevention of conflict of interests, on 9-10th October, 2018, in Budva, Montenegro.

The aim of the workshop was to develop methods for selecting public officials for the ex-officio control; to enhance fact-checking and decision-making procedures in cases of conflict of interest, and to improve the clarity of decisions issued by the Agency in this regard.

CoE experts presented recommendations for improvement of the current practices and procedures within the document 'Guidelines on Enforcement of Rules on Conflict of Interest in Montenegro', which were discussed and finalized during this workshop.

The activity was organised within the framework of the Council of Europe Action against Economic Crime which is being implemented in Montenegro under the joint Council of Europe and the European Union programme “Horizontal Facility for Western Balkans and Turkey”.
