- Following public consultation, Montenegro will adopt a credible PAR Strategy for the period 2022-2026 and start its implementation according to the 2022 action plan. The new PAR Strategy will have the full list of involved institutions in annex. Montenegro will establish co-ordination mechanisms supporting its implementation including all relevant stakeholders.

- When implementing the Law on Civil Servants and State Employees, Montenegro will take steps to focus on merit-based recruitment and avoid any arbitrary dismissals. In particular, Montenegro will provide the following information to the European Commission by the first quarter of 2022:
- data on the number of acting senior managers, the duration of their mandates, their belonging to the civil service, etc. A template for the required data will be circulated by the European Commission;

An action plan will also be implemented and the Agency for Personal Data Protection and Free Access to Information will ensure the implementation of the activities envisaged by the action plan, including steps to reduce the share of successful appeals on requests for information.
- Montenegro will continue the process of legislative harmonisation with the Law on General Administrative Procedures. In parallel, Montenegro will start monitoring harmonisation of secondary legislation, in view of a general simplification of administrative procedures, especially those linked to inter-operability of registers and e-services.
