Legal Regime for the Protection of the Marine Environment Against Pollution from Vessels in Montenegrin Adriatic Waters

Pollution of the marine environment from vessels, caused directly by the discharge of various substances into the sea or indirectly through the atmosphere, is a serious global problem. In addition to the international legislative framework for the prevention of pollution from vessels, adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the obligation of each state is to establish efficient and effective legal mechanisms, which will through their implementation ensure the protection and preservation of the sea and marine environment. Being an ecological state, Montenegro has a clear commitment to protect and preserve the sea from pollution from vessels. In that sense, Montenegro has created its own legal framework which represents a solid basis for further upgrading and improvement of legal solutions on the protection of the sea from vessel-sourced pollution. The importance of the Montenegrin legal regime lies in the fact that it represents an important mechanism for the protection of the coastal sea of Montenegro, which complements and improves the entire legal regime for the protection of the Adriatic Sea. This paper presents and analyzes the existing regulation on the protection of the sea from pollution from vessels. In addition, the provisions of individual legal texts are compared with international regulations in order to assess their compliance with conventional solutions and provide guidelines for improving the existing Montenegrin legislation.
