EU Sanctions
The EU does not have a Montenegro sanctions regime, but a provision still remains in force prohibiting the satisfaction of certain claims made in relation to contracts affected by the repealed UN Resolution 757 (1992) under Council Regulation (EC) No 1733/94 and Council Decision 94/366/CFSP.
UK Sanctions
The UK has retained the same provision post-Brexit in the Sanctions (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, Regulation 5.
US Sanctions
The US introduced its Western Balkans sanctions regime in 2001, consisting of asset freezes, via EO 13219 to curb actions of persons engaged in, or assisting, sponsoring, or supporting, (i) extremist violence in the territory of the Former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, or (ii) acts obstructing the implementation of the Dayton Accords. This regime was expanded in 2021 by EO 14033, broadening the geographical scope of the existing sanctions regime to include Albania and augmenting the designation criteria.
