10 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE - INSIGHT VIEW<br />
THE COUNTRY OF EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS<br />
Sport is highly politicized<br />
Currently, Montenegro is the only country at the European continent that finances umbrella sport<br />
organizations (associations) and basic sport organizations (clubs) from the central budget. Montenegrin<br />
Olympic Committee has the certain budget line in the Budget of Montenegro, which additionally<br />
complicates the system of sport financing. Basic strategic documents do not treat finances<br />
intended for sport development from the lottery funds. This makes enough system anomalies for<br />
comprehensive analysis and harmonizing of the current system of sport financing, in regards to<br />
valid international recommendations and standards.<br />
Sport in Montenegro is highly politicized. There are not many examples that in the leadership of<br />
the Association do not sit functionaries of the ruling parties. This is especially visible in analyzing<br />
of Executive boards of national associations of the most popular sports, such as football, basketball<br />
and handball…<br />
Nepotism in the Skiing association<br />
Nepotism is large problem, and is mostly visible in the Skiing association. Family Kosić holds all positions<br />
in the Alps section of the Association. Father is selector, son is representative, mother is timekeeper at<br />
the finish line, and daughter is the coach.<br />
