Key Developments
Montenegro has fulfilled its Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) Article 4 obligations, having completed clearance of remaining cluster munition remnants (CMR) contamination on 20 July 2020, and declared fulfilment of its Article 4 obligation as at 21 July, ahead of its 1 August deadline. Montenegro submitted its Declaration of Compliance on 13 October 2020. Completion was facilitated by the creation of a “Country Coalition”, in which Norway, as the lead support State/donor, partnered with Montenegro, with Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) as the implementing partner. This Coalition enabled effective planning and completion of CMR clearance by Montenegro’s Article 4 deadline.
Land release operations re-started in October 2018, implemented by NPA in collaboration with the Department for UXO [Unexploded Ordnance] within the Directorate for Emergency Situations. Operations had been scheduled to be completed by the end of April 2020, but this was delayed by two and a half months due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations.
