Montenegro at the top in number
of applications per capita
According to data of the European Court of Human Rights, Montenegro is near the top by the
number of applications per capita. The report of the Court for 2015, stated that out of 47 countries,
Montenegro was at the seventh position according to the number of applications per capita.
The Court received 129 applications in regards to Montenegro in 2015, which was a smaller
number in comparison with previous years. In 2013, the Court received 289 applications, which
ranked Montenegro second place for the number of applications per capita. By the end of 2015,
the Court had 171 applications in work against Montenegro. According to this data, we can make
the conclusion that Montenegrins, among other things, did not have adequate court protection
before national courts.
