Lobbying in Montenegro is regulated by the Law on Lobbying, prescribing the requirements and manner of conducting lobbying activities, the rules on lobbying and other issues of importance for lobbying. The Law was published in the “Official Gazette of Montenegro", No. 52/2014 of 16 December 2014, and came into force on 24 December 2014.

The Federal and all State Governments plus the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) require lobbyists and their clients to be listed on their respective lobbyist registers. Only the Northern Territory does not have this requirement. Generally, the registers have to be updated both quarterly and every time a new client is acquired. Lobbyist activities are regulated and the Australian Governments require lobbyists to follow a Code of Conduct prescribed for their jurisdiction.

Preamble

Since 21 March 2014, Crimea is a part of Russian Federation: administratively two entities, the Republic of Crimea (22th republic of the Russian Federation) and the city of Sevastopol. So the status of Crimea is juridically clear and simple: it’s Russia.
