Opinion on the Draft Law on Compensation of Damages for Victims of Criminal Acts in Montenegro
The scope of this Opinion mainly covers the Draft Law submitted for review. The Opinion focuses on aspects relating to the establishment and functioning of a state compensation scheme/fund covered by the Draft Law. Thus limited, it does not constitute a full and comprehensive review of the entire legal and institutional framework pertaining to the full and effective reparation1 of victims2 of criminal acts in Montenegro. It must be highlighted that the upcoming OSCE/ODIHR Opinion on the legal framework on preventing and combatting violence against women and domestic violence in Montenegro will further address other aspects pertaining to the reparation of victims of violence against women and domestic violence.
