Montenegro is on its way to join the European Union (EU) and has to fulfil necessary obligations during this accession process. With respect to nature protection, there is the need to implement the two EU Nature Directives, the Birds and the Habitats Directives. As regards the Birds Directive, Candidate Countries are obliged to propose Special Protection Areas – so-called SPAs – and to notify the European Commission (EC) on meeting this obligation prior to accession. SPAs are a part of the future Natura 2000 network. The primary objective of the Birds Directive is to help protecting and managing areas, which are important for rare and vulnerable bird species because they use them for breeding, feeding, wintering or migration. This publication is produced under the IPA project: ‘Establishment of Natura 2000 network, Montenegro’ (Service contract no. 374-589) which was carried out between 26th April 2016 and 25th April 2019 and funded by the European Union. The Natura 2000 project provides technical assistance to the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism (MoSDT) and the Nature and Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). The main goal of the project within the bird component was the elaboration of ‘Proposals for potential Special Protection Areas in Montenegro’. The project was implemented by Consortium made of seven members led by Hungarian company AAM Management Information Consulting Ltd. (AAM Consulting). The book ‘Conserving Wild Birds in Montenegro’ presents the project results of the bird component and is summarizing the extensive work of many people. The first 6 months of the project were devoted to establishing the bird team, preparatory activities such as stakeholder analysis, discussing and developing methodologies/monitoring protocols, testing in the field, etc. and the planning for the work
