This study examines the legal framework governing the exploitation of river deposits in Montenegro, emphasizing its significance in economic activities through a concession system. The regulatory landscape, encompassing acts such as the Concessions Act, Water Act, and Water Management Strategy, provides a structured approach. The process involves a systematic concession granting procedure, starting with a Concession Act and requiring rigorous technical documentation for water approval. The decision-making process for concessions involves the Government and municipalities, marking a crucial step in the exploitation of river deposits. Additionally, the study explores the impact of a moratorium on gravel and sand exploitation, citing reasons such as the expiration of river regulation projects and the need for environmental revitalization. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the legal framework, highlighting the commitment to environmental sustainability and opportunities for market stability. The study concludes that continuous adaptation of the legal framework is vital to achieving sustainable exploitation, balancing economic benefits, and maintaining public support.
