Public procurement in Montenegrin system, as wel as in all other countries, is recognized as in area of particular risk to corruption, which had been noted in a number of documents developed by the Government of Montenegro (Strategy for Fight against Corruption and Organised Crime and Corruption Risk Assesment in Special Risk Areas).
