Permits
Upon receipt of the request, the Ministry of Sports and Youth checks whether the documentation is complete, as well as whether the act of incorporation was drawn up in accordance with the law. If the documentation is incomplete, the Ministry of Sports and Youth, in accordance with the Law on Administrative Procedure, sends a request for supplementing the documentation to the applicant and leaves a deadline (from 3 to 8 days) for supplementing it. If the party does not complete the documentation within the set deadline, an additional deadline (from 3 to 5 days) is given to complete the documentation. If the specified deadline is not met, the request is rejected.
Also, the Ministry ex officio checks whether a person has been legally convicted of a criminal offense or a misdemeanor from Article 62, paragraph 1, point. 4 and 5 of the Law on Sports. To determine the fulfillment of the conditions for the establishment of a sports organization (foundation act and submitted evidence), the Minister of Sports, for each individual case, forms a commission that has the task of visiting the office and the facility where the sports activity will be performed. At the proposal of the commission, if the prescribed conditions are met, a decision is made on the establishment of a sports organization. The deadline for making a decision is 30 days from the date of submission of the request.
If during the procedure it is established that there is a reason for rejecting the request, the Ministry will enable the party to participate in the procedure before issuing a decision on rejection. The deadline for making a decision is 30 days from the date of submission of the request.
Legal remedies
The party has the right to file a complaint with the Administrative Court of Montenegro (Bulevar Svetog Petra Cetinjskog 130, Podgorica) within 20 days from the date of receipt of the Decision. The deadline for the decision of the competent authority is 30 days from the day of receipt of the formal complaint. In the course of the lawsuit, if the first-instance authority sees new facts, there is a possibility of making a new decision, i.e. A positive decision, which ends the legal proceedings.
