U.S. Ambassador to Montenegro Sue K. Brown presented the letter on the awarded grant for HRA project “Improving the practice of ordering detention” to Ms Tea Gorjanc Prelević, Executive Director of Human Rights Action. The project will analyze a representative sample of cases in which detention is ordered, with emphasis on the length of sentences in relation to months spent in prison and reasons for not ordering milder measures.  Hosts of the ceremony, organized in hotel Podgorica, were U.S. Ambassador Sue K. Brown and Deputy Minister of Justice of Montenegro Branka Lakočević. The grants fall under the “Criminal Justice Civil Society Program”, a program funded by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), administered by East West Management Institute and World ORT, Inc.
