CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY OF MONTENEGRO 2018-2021 8. Regional and international cooperation STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: The Government of Montenegro will continue with its regional and international activities and exercise its influence by investing in partnerships which shape global evolution of cyberspace in the manner which improves and spreads economic and security interests and strengthens collective security. Considering the global nature of the Internet and, consequently, the problems of cyber security, regional and international cooperation is necessary for securing the cyberspace of Montenegro. Due to an increasing number of security incidents, the existing capabilities of Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT) are no longer sufficient. In order to provide a proper response and protect national interests, cooperation and activities with regional and international partners should continue. It is necessary to further strengthen relations with bilateral and multilateral partners, including the EU, NATO, OSCE and UN, particularly through collective defence and collective security. Such cooperation facilitates positive exchange of experiences, knowledge and best practices, all of which contribute to the strengthening of national security. Therefore, Montenegro will continue to promote the participation of its representatives in international organisations, as well as in professional exercises and associations in this field.
