Plan for Competences
Starting from the result of analysis of implementation of the Law on Waste Management (“Official Gazette of Montenegro”, 64/11), and the fact that the National Waste Management Plan for the period is in the drafting process, for which it is necessary to establish strategic directions as the basis of the, the necessity was recognized to slightly amend the Law on Waste Management.
It is important to point out that, when the conditions are created for preparing a proposal for the Law amending the Law on Waste Management, this regulation will constitute the basis for drafting a by-law which will transpose the provisions of this Directive to the legal framework of Montenegro.
