Today, the fifth session of the Coordination Body for the Alignment and Monitoring of Inspection Controls was held, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development and head of the body, Milun Zogović.
The meeting focused on the results of enhanced inspection activities during the 2025 summer tourist season, conducted in line with the Action Plan for 2025. Between June 30 and September 1, inspections were carried out in six coastal municipalities: Ulcinj, Bar, Budva, Tivat, Kotor, and Herceg Novi.
Over 70 inspectors from various agencies, including the Tourism, Labor, Health-Sanitary, Market, and Food Safety inspections, as well as Fisheries and Maritime Safety inspections, worked continuously for 60 days. During this period, a total of 9,652 inspections were conducted, identifying 6,252 irregularities. Inspectors issued 1,223 corrective orders, acted preventively in 1,053 cases, and filed 29 criminal reports. A total of 8,761 fines were issued, with a financial impact exceeding €4.1 million.
The enhanced inspections improved business practices and consumer protection, with common violations related to undeclared work, incorrect fiscalization, and hygiene issues. The Coordination Body emphasized that continued coordinated inspections, entrepreneur education, and preventive measures are key to maintaining high-quality services, a safe environment, and Montenegro’s reputation as a secure tourist destination.
