Budva - IOM Montenegro has successfully conducted a training program titled "Utilizing a Rights-Based Approach for Return Counseling and Assistance for Children and Families." The training, which took place from March 23 to 24, 2023, in Budva, Montenegro, aimed to equip social workers in Montenegro with practical tools and knowledge to provide essential support and assistance in the context of returning children and their families.
