From June 18th to 24th, 2023, representatives of the Audit Authority of Montenegro visited Sweden as part of a study visit to their colleagues at the Swedish National Financial Management Authority.

The visit was organized under the Twinning Light project “Improving the Legislative Framework and Strengthening the Administrative Capacities of the Audit Authority of Montenegro” and was utilized for exchanging experiences with institutions that have similar goals and responsibilities. This exchange will be extremely beneficial for the current and future work of the Audit Authority of Montenegro.
