MONTENEGRIN WINE-GROWING AREA
2 REGIONS and 9 SUBREGIONS- montenegro’s coastal region - montenegro’s basin of the lake of skadar
the borders of regions and subregions are not defined precisely
it is not established and determined to which European zone belongs Montenegrinwine growing area
CARENT SITUATION –changes in process
IPA 2011 is funding a project Technical Support to Renewal of viticulture zoning of MontenegroProject started in April 2015 and will last for 24 monthsThe purposes of the project are:- to determine new viticulture regions with their
borders as the precondition for setting up the labeling of wine with geographical origin
- to determine European wine growing zones (A, B, C) which are very important for oenological practices and restrictions
- the possibility of expanding the areal cultivation of wine grapes in Montenegro

NOW and FUTURESITUATION
ORGANIZATION OF ADMINISTRATION AND CONTROL
MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
• Policy making (regulations, measures for support to agriculture development)
• Record keeping (Central Register of producers of grape and wine, List of produced wine)
LABORATORIES, two laboratories included in the list of authorized laboratories Official Journal of Europion Union C 87 of 10 2007 analysis of physico-chemical properties of wine as a part of the overall wine quality
assessment prior to placing on the market
CERTIFIED WINE TASTERS for the sensory evaluation of wine
There are no BODIES ACCREDITED in accordance with the ISO 17065 assessing the compliance of the product with the specification, for the purpose of recognizing and registering PDOs and PGIs

REGISTER OF GRAPES AND WINE PRODUCERS
Register of grapes and wine producers exist in manual format.
The Register keeps the records on the year of planting, varieties, planting density, yield and purposeof grapes, data on wine cellars.
The electronic register of vineyards will be set up. The Register will contribute to linking of all data in the sector and it will facilitate the system of control of all phases and tracing of all steps. This is one of priorities that will be continuously worked on and that will provide preconditions for eligibility for support under the CAP.
