Legal Regulation of Prostitution in Montenegro

Summary/Abstract: Prostitution in Montenegro is regulated by the Law on Public Order and Peace as an offence against public order and peace, which means that the prohibitionist model of regulating prostitution is in force. The subject of analysis in this paper is the legal regulation of prostitution in Montenegro. The provisions of the Law on Public Order and Peace, which regulate prostitution, will be analyzed using the normative method. The current legal solution will also be re- viewed from a gender perspective, bearing in mind that women are primarily engaged in prostitution while men use prostitution services. Existing models of legal regulation of prostitution will be analyzed using a comparative method. The main goal of the research is to determine whether prostitution in Montenegro is regulated in accordance with current points of view on prostitution as well as progressive models of legal regulation of prostitution. The obtained results indicate that prostitution is considered an unacceptable social phenomenon in Montenegrin society, where repressive measures affect the most vulnerable, persons who engage in prostitution, who are usually women. Therefore, it would be desirable for the legislator to change the model of legal regulation of prostitution and opt for a more progressive neo-abolitionist model.
