Abstract

The reform of criminal procedural legislation in Montenegro, which is intensified in the last decade, continued with adoption of the Law of Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code at 2015. Unlike the previous legislative interventions to which are often been approached without adequate preparation and in a hurry, this time writing the Law have been approached after the necessary preparation and most importantly experience in applying the Code have been taken to a large extent. All amendments can be divided into two groups-those that are more technical and related to the elimination of certain ambiguities and contradictions in the Code and ones which are the introduction of new legislation. In the introductory part, the author comment on whether we need such frequent changes in this branch of legislation, the following refers to the most important new legal solutions and evaluate their importance for achieving the goals of the criminal proceedings.
