Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Assessing groundwater chemical status
The Hydrometeorologic and Seismologic Institute of Montenegro is obligated for systematic examination of the qualitative characteristics of groundwater in Montenegro, as defined by the Law on Water (Official Gazette of the Republic of Montenegro, 27/07);
Groundwater quality monitoring is currently performed at the sources that are used for water supply (groundwater provides about 92% of the total amount of water for cities) and 9 points (wells) that are included in the Annual Programme of systematic testing of water quality.

M O N T E N E G R O
Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Establishing a procedure and methodology for identifying and reversing significant and sustained upward trends
Article 73, paragraph 2 of the Law on Water defines the objectives of the protection of groundwater, including the following two objectives:
- prevention or limitation of inputting of pollutants in groundwater and prevention of deterioration of the status of all bodies of groundwater;
- reduction of significant increase of concentration of the pollution that is result of the impact of human activities in order to reduce pollution of groundwater progressively
Procedure and methodology for identifying and reversing of significant and sustained upward trends is not legally established. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in its Annual reports shows a comparative analysis of the concentration of pollutants that are detected in groundwater in the last 4 years.
