Montenegro overhaul construction laws for better quality control and regulation

Key points of the proposed bill include:

Supported by

• Enhanced quality control in construction.
• Stronger measures against illegal construction.
• Improved oversight through local government inspections.
• Addressing inadequacies in the current law, which allowed various malpractices due to lack of proper control over technical documentation and approvals.
