Disability Legislations and Policies
The CRPD was ratified in 2009. Montenegro had improved the legislative and institutional framework for the protection of persons with disabilities through the adoption, in June 2015, of the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination of Persons with Disabilities, which had achieved a high level of compliance with the Convention.
The Government had also adopted a strategy for the protection of persons with disabilities from discrimination for the period 2017-2021, which followed the areas of activities and timeframe of the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020.
Travel Related Information
While Montenegro passed a law on spatial planning and construction in August 2008 regulating the accessibility to public facilities, it only applies to future services and construction. Some structures built recently do meet those standards.
Accessibility for persons with disabilities, including on public transportation, is lacking throughout the country. The overall geography is mountainous and often steep, including along the coast, which presents challenges to some persons with disabilities. Outside of urban areas, accessibility is limited.
