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 />
