In this direction, financial support is provided for about 50 projects that will be implemented by about 100 CSOs, independently or in partnership with other CSOs or local authorities, working on issues relevant to the democratization and Europeanization of Montenegro, then the development and implementation of a series of recommendations and conclusions related to the modalities of improving the legal, institutional and administrative framework in which CSOs operate. In that part, five competitions will be conducted, through which financial resources will be distributed, but also the capacities of supported CSOs will be strengthened, through a special and comprehensive program, in order to successfully implement their activities in accordance with European rules.
