Summary/Abstract: Generally speaking, the existing state of human rights in Montenegro is marked by the following general characteristics: insufficiently developed and inefficient system of institutional protection, both the primary - preventive one, and the secondary - repressive one, which often prevents the citizens from securing the implementation and protection of many guaranteed rights and freedoms. Moreover, the existing constitutional and legal solutions, institutions and procedures are often not sufficiently in compliance with the corresponding international standards in this area. Finally, a significant discrepancy is evident between the prescribed solutions and the implementation of the legal norms in concrete cases, that is, the behavior of the state agencies in practice.
