This Master's thesis deals with potential terrorist threats to the security of Montenegro, Montenegroʼs systemic regulation in countering terrorism, its counterterrorism policy and the associated anti-terrorist legislation, holders of counter-terrorism activitiesin Montenegro and their mutual cooperation. Given the potential terrorist threats, Montenegroʼs greatest threat is international terrorism. Such a threat results from the geopolitical and geostrategic position of the country in the region and from the fact that it borders countries in which members of terrorist organisations are located. Moreover, the threat results from the participation of the countryʼs members in international operations and missions, as well as from the country's attractiveness as a tourist destination, the emergence of Wahhabism in its territory etc. With respect to the issue of potential terrorist threats to Montenegro, the thesis focuses on the importance and role of the countryʼs national security system in countering terrorism and stresses the importance of establishing a modern regulatory regime and effective cooperation and coordination of all entities of the national security system in countering terrorism, as well as the need for cooperation between the countries in the region and at the international level. To effectively tackle terrorism, it is important to include Montenegro in international security organisations, especially NATO, under which it will certainly increase the level of own security in the future. | Keywords: | terrorism, Montenegro, national security system, geopolitical situation, counter-terrorism, police, National Security Agency |
