The end result of assignment will be a study outlining possible options for the legal status of the Centre for Sustainable Development. Based on the analysis of the best international practices in this area and especially taking into account legal status of similar institutions and experiences related to that, the study should provide an overview of possible options for legal status of the Centre. For each of the alternatives, key features of the institution’s legal status – type of the institution under the law, governance structures of the institutions, funding sources, reporting obligations, etc. – should be outlined, major pro and cons described, and main risks identified. With these in mind as well as taking into account Montenegrin context, the mission of the Centre and its functions the study should come up with a suggested most appropriate option. The study should take due account of the possibility that the Centre could/would transform over time from a national into a real regional institution and therefore, its legal status should allow for that.
