Podgorica - Following a set of preparatory meetings, on 04 October 2023 IOM facilitated an assessment workshop in Podgorica with representatives from the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, IOM WBCAP Team and Nordicstation IT company, to better understand the existing local processes and the experiences of the institutional actors involved in the readmission case management.

The event represents a launch of the implementation of the Electronic Case Management System (e-RCMS) in Montenegro, which will facilitate easier communication and coordination of readmission between the EU countries and Montenegro. The project is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.

The launch of the e-RCMS in Montenegro is a crucial component of IOM's broader initiative to strengthen return management not only in Montenegro but also across the Western Balkans. 
This undertaking reflects the organization's commitment to facilitating efficient and effective readmission processes in the region.
