This research represents a continuation of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro activities on the support program for the further improvement and efficiency of the overall capacities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Police Directorate, which should be developed into a professional, democratic, responsible and efficient service in which the society has full confidence. Similar public opinion surveys on the perception of the police, integrity and professionalism of police officers were conducted in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The second RTCG Brand Strength Research was conducted by the Public Opinion Research Agency DAMAR PLUS in November 2022. Same as in the first research, the primary goal of the second nationwide comprehensive research was to obtain relevant information about the public awareness of the RTCG brand and perceptions of its program.

This public opinion survey on perception of psychological violence in Montenegro was commissioned by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro for the NGO Women’s Safe House and conducted by the DeFacto Agency from May to July 2022 on a representative sample of 1,008 respondents over the age of 18. Although this is not a traditional victimological research in terms of its scope, it has provided us with very important and interesting findings, not only about how psychological violence is perceived by Montenegrin citizens, but also about its prevalence, and it can therefore complement the official statistics that does not disaggregate data per type of violence.

The publication is a baseline study addressing gender and diversity considerations in the justice system by bringing international perspective on national understanding of the role of the women in judiciary and providing relevant data and analysis from a gender and diversity perspective (ethnicity, language, disability, age, social status, religion or belief). The study reflects on the current situation in North Macedonia and offers recommendations that would serve as a solid basis for future fact-based and sustainable interventions for building a more inclusive justice system in line with the good practice solutions highlighted by the OSCE/ODIHR.
