title = {Montenegro’s accession to the European Union: Possible consequences of the free movement of persons for the Montenegrin social security system},
year = {2020},
note = {This article discusses the potential impact of the free movement of
persons in the EU on the Montenegrin social security system. It can be
argued that three variables will be of great importance: 1) mobility
between Montenegro and other EU member states; 2) social security
legislation in Montenegro; and 3) the social security Coordination
Regulations. The scale of migration will be highly dependent on
whether there are transitional arrangements and whether neighbouring
countries, not least Serbia, join the EU at the same time. In order to
avoid an erosion of the workforce and consequently of people paying
taxes in Montenegro, it might be useful to negotiate transitional
arrangements as well as to promote oth er types of labour mobility,
such as intra-EU posting. Furthermore, it can be expected that
Montenegro’s accession will have financial and administrative
implications in the area of healthcare. After all, accession to the EU
will lead to a further increase in the number of tourists and thus of
the amount that Montenegro will have to recover from member states if
unplanned healthcare has been provided in Montenegro.},
