This study examines the current challenges faced by the Constitutional Court of Montenegro, with a particular focus on its autonomy and operational effectiveness. Special attention is devoted to the political influence on the appointment and termination of judicial mandates, as well as to mechanisms that could improve the Court’s performance. By analyzing data on the Court’s caseload in the period 2016–2024, the study identifies shortcomings in the Court’s existing practices across different types of proceedings. In addition to the functional analysis, the study provides concrete recommendations for improving the legal framework, including strengthening the autonomy of the Constitutional Court, reducing political influence in the judicial appointment process, enhancing the Court’s efficiency, reinforcing its institutional capacity, and increasing its transparency.
