Developing and Connecting Talents

Diplomatic Academy is a capacity development and networking hub for diplomats and all civil servants working to advance Montenegro’s interests internationally. It is envisaged as center of excellence for empowering the emerging generation of diplomats.

The Academy enables a continuous learning and career-long professional development programmes in diplomacy and international affairs. It encourages international cooperation and sharing best practice in modern diplomacy, valuing learning, creativity and innovation.

Diplomatic Academy was established in 2003 as a joint project of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro and Faculty of Law of the University of Montenegro. Following the best practices of similar institutions in the world, in 2007 the Diplomatic Academy became an organizational unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro.

One of the most successful and globally-recognized project of Diplomatic Academy is the Summer School for Young Diplomats “Gavro Vuković” – a unique programme that promotes intercultural awareness and contributes to build trust and understanding among young diplomats from all over the world.

With support of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Montenegro our ambition is to preserve and further develop relations among school participants allowing its growing alumni network composed of more than 600 future leaders and decision makers from 82 countries to remain connected.
