🙌Within the framework of the project "Individual Measure to Strengthen Integrated Border Management Capacities in Montenegro," financed by the European Union #EU and implemented by the United Nations Migration Agency - International Organization for Migration in Montenegro (IOM Montenegro), preparatory works for the construction of an administrative building for the Ministry of the Interior in Zagorič were completed over the past two months. 🇲🇪🤝🇪🇺 🔹The preparatory works included various activities, such as relocating optical cables and vehicles from the existing plot where the building will be constructed, as well as procuring prefabricated containers and garages, which were officially handed over to the user for further use today. 🔹The construction of the new building, which is planned to house the future National Coordination Center (#NCC) of the Border Police Sector, is expected to begin in the coming days. The implementation of this project activity significantly contributes to strengthening capacities of the Border Police and fulfilling obligations from Negotiation Chapter 24 – Justice, Freedom, and Security. 🔹IOM, in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and all other relevant parties will continue to support Montenegro on its path to EU membership, particularly emphasizing the importance of better integrated border and migration management in Montenegro. 🇲🇪🤝🇪🇺 **** 🙌U okviru projekta ,,Individualna mjera za jačanje kapaciteta integrisanog upravljanja granicom u Crnoj Gori’’, koji finansira Evropska unija (EU), a sprovodi Agencija Ujedinjenih nacija za migracije - Međunarodna organizacija za migracije u Crnoj Gori (IOM Crna Gora), u toku prethodna dva mjeseca završeni su pripremni radovi za početak izgradnje administrativnog objekta Ministarstva unutrašnjih poslova u Zagoriču. 🇲🇪🤝🇪🇺 🔹Pripremni radovi obuhvatili su niz aktivnosti, uključujući, izmiještanje optičkih kablova i vozila sa postojeće parcele na kojoj će biti izgrađen objekat, kao i nabavku montažnih kontejnera i garaža, a koji su danas i zvanično predati korisniku na dalje korišćenje. 🔹Početak projekta izgradnje novog objekta, u kojem je planirano da bude smješten budući Nacionalni koordinacioni centar (NKC) Sektora granične policije, očekuje se u narednim danima, a sprovođenjem ove projektne aktivnosti značajno doprinosi jačanju kapaciteta i ispunjavanju obaveza iz pregovaračkog pogavlja 24 – Pravda, sloboda i bezbjednost. 🔹IOM će, u saradnji sa MUP-om i svim drugim relevantnim stranama i dalje nastaviti da pruža podršku Crnoj Gori na putu ka članstvu u EU, posebno naglašavajući važnost boljeg upravljanja granicama i migracijama u Crnoj Gori. 🇲🇪🤝🇪🇺

IOM Montenegro congratulates the Statehood Day of Montenegro 🇲🇪! Happy 13th of July 🇲🇪! *** IOM Crna Gora čestita Dan državnosti Crne Gore 🇲🇪! Srećan 13. jul 🇲🇪!

👉Početkom jula, naš tim iz Programa zaštite IOM Montenegro imao je čast posjetiti kolege iz IOM BiH u sklopu studijske posjete, realizovane u okviru projekta "Odgovor na mješovite migracijske tokove na Zapadnom Balkanu," kojeg finansira Ministarstvo vanjskih poslova Kraljevine Norveške. 🔹Cilj posjete bio je osnaživanje kapaciteta i razmjena iskustava u radu sa migrantima. Tokom posjete, naš tim je imao priliku da se upozna sa: • Metodologijom rada i pristupom AVRR programu • Radom #DTM-a • Strukturom upravljanja u privremenim prihvatnim centrima 🔹Kolege iz IOM BiH predstavili su nam svoju praksu pružanja asistencija migrantima u privremenim prihvatnim centrima, omogućivši nam uvid u dinamiku pružanja podrške u složenim migracijskim situacijama. 🔹Razmjena iskustava kao ova ključna je za unapređenje naših programa, bolju podršku migrantima, i sticanje znanja o zaštiti migranata. Zahvaljujemo našim domaćinima iz IOM BiH na toploj dobrodošlici i korisnim uvidima! 🤝Hvala Ministarstvu vanjskih poslova Kraljevine Norveške na podršci! 🇳🇴 ********** 👉At the beginning of July, our Migrant Protection Assistance team from IOM Montenegro had the honor of visiting colleagues from IOM BiH as part of a study visit conducted within the project "Responding to Mixed Migration Flows in the Western Balkans," funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway. 🔹The goal of the visit was to strengthen capacities and exchange experiences in working with migrants. During the visit, our team had the opportunity to learn about: • The methodology and approach of the AVRR program • The work of #DTM • The management structure in temporary reception centers 🔹Our colleagues from IOM BiH introduced us to their practices in providing assistance to migrants in temporary reception centers, giving us insight into the dynamics of support in complex migration situations. 🔹Exchanges like this are crucial for enhancing our programs, providing better support to migrants, and gaining knowledge on migrant protection. We thank our hosts from IOM BiH for the warm welcome and valuable insights! 🤝Thanks to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway for their support! 🇳🇴

Here is a #fact about people on the move. On #WorldPopulationDay, we reflect on the dynamic nature of our global population and the contributions of migrants to our societies.

👉Take a look at a quarterly report on the survey conducted as part of the regional project “Support to Evidence-Based Migration Management in the Western Balkans.”✍️ 🔹This initiative is supported by the Government of the United Kingdom and aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of migration patterns in the region. 🔹The data presented in this report covers the period from January 1 to March 31, 2024. During this timeframe, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted daily interviews with migrants across various locations in Montenegro. 🔹Interviews were carried out at key sites including Reception Centers Božaj and Spuž, as well as active transit locations in Pljevlja and Rožaje. A total of 319 individuals participated in the survey, providing valuable insights into their profiles, experiences, needs, and the trajectories of their journeys. 🔹As the survey is conducted on a daily basis, this report represents only the first of many quarterly updates. Future reports will continue to build on the data collected, offering ongoing insights into migration trends and aiding in the development of effective migration management strategies. 👉For further details and to stay updated with our upcoming reports, please visit our website regularly. https://lnkd.in/d7jiCTWK ********** 👉U nastavku je kvartalni izvještaj o anketi sprovedenoj u okviru regionalnog projekta „Podrška upravljanju migracijama zasnovanom na dokazima na Zapadnom Balkanu.” ✍️ 🔹Ova inicijativa je podržana od strane Vlade Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i ima za cilj pružanje sveobuhvatnog razumijevanja obrazaca migracija u regionu. 🔹Podaci predstavljeni u ovom izvještaju obuhvataju period od 1. januara do 31. marta 2024. godine. Tokom ovog perioda, Međunarodna organizacija za migracije (IOM) je svakodnevno sprovodila intervjue sa migrantima na raznim lokacijama u Crnoj Gori. 🔹Intervjui su sprovedeni na ključnim mjestima, uključujući odsjeke za prihvat stranaca koji traže međunarodnu zaštitu Božaj i Spuž, kao i aktivne tranzitne lokacije u Pljevljima i Rožajama. Ukupno 319 pojedinaca je učestvovalo u anketi, pružajući dragocjene uvide u njihove profile, iskustva, potrebe i rute kojima se kreću. 🔹S obzirom da se anketa sprovodi na dnevnoj bazi, ovaj izvještaj predstavlja samo prvi od mnogih kvartalnih izvještaja. Budući izvještaji će nastaviti da se nadograđuju na prikupljenim podacima, nudeći kontinuirane uvide u trendove migracija i pomažući u razvoju efikasnih strategija za upravljanje migracijama. 👉Za više detalja i da biste ostali u toku sa našim nadolazećim izvještajima, molimo da redovno posjećujete našu web stranicu. https://lnkd.in/d7jiCTWK https://lnkd.in/d5VJSc4J
