1 Executive Summary
1.1 English version
The current document constitutes the Institutional Review Report (Activity 2)
of the project “Management models and options for cost recovery for the future
construction and operation of regional landfills in Montenegro (Case Study for
Nikšić).” The report is divided into the following sections:
Overview of the Report (Chapter 2) – lists the issues to be addressed in
the report, as well as the presents the objective of the report, which is to
examine what future solutions for procurement and operations are
available under the current legal and institutional framework, as well as
provides some initial indications of the condition of the municipalities
and PUCs that will be involved in the regional landfill scheme. In this
sense, it provides some basic inputs into the Activity 3 Report. Otherwise,
however, the current report does not affect the outputs of the Activity
3 and 4 Reports.
Introduction (Chapter 3) – provides an introduction to the report, including
the main principles of solid waste management in the Montenegro.
Institutional and Legal Review (Chapter 4) – covers the institutional
set-up at the national level, as well as the national policy framework
and relevant national legislation with respect to solid waste management,
the institutional set-up at the local level, and development needs
in the sector.
Waste Generation in Nikšić Area (Chapter 5) – reviews the forecast for
waste generation in the Nikšić Service Area for solid waste management.
Case Study on the Nikšić Service Area (Chapter 6) – presents the basic
information on solid waste management in the Nikšić Service Area, the
proposed regional landfill, and financing of the solid waste management
sector, in particular with respect to landfill operation, closure, and
post-closure aftercare.
The institutional set-up for solid waste management is fairly typical: the national
government sets the policy objectives for the development of the sector,
while the local governments function as the regulators of the services at the local
level, including with respect to tariff-setting and establishing minimum service
levels. The typical service provider of solid waste management is a multipurpose
public utility company (PUC). The relationship between the local government
and the PUC is governed by a PUC statute and local decision accord-
