From September 17-18, 2024, CLDP, in partnership with US interagency colleagues, Montenegrin Ministry of Economic Development, and the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, conducted a workshop on investment screening best practices. The program provided an in-depth introduction to the German investment screening mechanism, including perspectives from six German federal agencies. This technical assistance is part of CLDP’s on-going initiative to assist governments in the Western Balkans in developing legislation and procedures to review (and potentially mitigate or block) incoming investments that could pose a threat to national security.
