Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts, through the theoretical prism, to emphasize the process of building media pluralism in Montenegro, mostly from the perspective of public policy, legislation and institutional framework in the past two decades. Since the second half of the 90s of the twentieth century, there has been a trend towards the establishment of new media entities, predominantly focused to the political sphere. The emergence of several media players on the media scene, often with clear conflict between political and programmatic positions, the turbulent political events, learning media professionalism and ethics, on the other hand, in the context of the European legal framework, required the implementation of high standards of respect for freedom of expression and the necessity of self-regulatory principles.
