Save one life at a time.

Across multiple crises, families forced to flee and communities facing violence and disasters need protection and life-saving support.

This must be the year we choose solidarity over indifference.

24/03/2026

Behind every refugee is a life interrupted by war, conflict or persecution.

Peace is the most urgent form of protection.

At the request of the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro UNHCR partnered with IOM and the Red Cross of Montenegro to deliver a workshop for security personnel working in the country’s two asylum reception centers — the first point of contact for people arriving in need of shelter and protection.
Throughout the session, security staff strengthened their knowledge of key asylum concepts, approaches to working with vulnerable groups, indicators of human trafficking, cultural mediation, PSEA principles, and the Restoring Family Links program.
Supporting frontline teams means reinforcing protection from the very first moment. 💙🌍

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, delivered a capacity-building training for officials of the Ministry of Interior’s Directorate for Asylum in Montenegro, the first-instance authority responsible for refugee status determination (RSD).

The session focused on strengthening key elements of the RSD procedure, including interview techniques, the role of interpreters and legal representatives, the use of country of origin information, and data protection standards.

This training is part of a series of three sessions planned by UNHCR in 2026, supporting Montenegro’s 2025–2026 Action Plan for meeting the closing benchmarks under EU accession Chapter 24.

The activity was supported by the EU under the IPA-III funded project "Protection-Sensitive Migration Management Systems in the Western Balkans" ( ), and implemented regionally with FRONTEX, EUAA, UNHCR and IOM.

Today marks 1000 days of war in Sudan.

1000 days of fear, loss and families forced to flee.

With nearly 12 million people displaced, this is now the largest displacement crisis in the world and we cannot afford to look away.

After 1000 days, the people of Sudan need more than sympathy.

They need peace.
They need support.
They need action.

🌍 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence 🌍
UNHCR Montenegro, in partnership with the Red Cross Budva and NGO Civic Alliance, proudly supported the art exhibition “Black Trees” by DT—a refugee from Kazakhstan and a passionate human rights defender who has dedicated years to advocating for women and children affected by violence.
🎨 The exhibition showcased 16 powerful paintings, each inspired by the real-life story of a heroine whose voice became a symbol of struggle and hope. Through nature-inspired imagery, these artworks speak of fear, pain, and resilience—silent yet strong messages against gender-based violence.
Together, let’s raise our voices and stand for a world free from violence. 💜
