The Youth Strategy 2017-2021 includes the legal definitions based on age limit for youth/young persons as persons “between 15 and 30 years of age”, in accordance with the Law on Youth (Article 2).

The Strategy defined six key priorities (outcomes) regarding Montenegrin youth:

A. Young people achieve economic and social security through improved access to labour market and employment

B. Young people have access to quality education

C. Young people are active citizens, involved, motivated, proactive and participate in decision-making and community development processes, in creation of policies and their implementation

D. Young people are healthy, they are safe, have access to an adequate support system for transition to adulthood and self-realization

E. Young people have access to quality cultural content as creators and consumers

F. Normative and institutional framework for the implementation of youth policy has been established.

The key priorities for youth, as defined by this Strategy, are the result of a comprehensive participatory process through which this document was created and in whose creation, not only the stakeholders and interested parties took part, but first and utmost young people throughout Montenegro.

The new National Youth Strategy is currently being drafted and its adoption is expected in 2023.
