Summary/Abstract: Currently, Montenegro is, as most countries in the region, in the transitional processes whose goal should be a society established on the rule of law, democratic principle of social and political representation, respect of human rights and market economy. In one word, the society built and established as a system of good governance. However, on this path there are diverse obstacles, from objective natural and social circumstances to subjective shortcomings of the structures of public sector and their antireform (in) action. Because of all of this the process has much slower dynamics than it is expected or necessary. At the same time, Montenegro is on the beginning of the path towards European integrations, and similar obstacles are appearing on the plan of implementation of ideas, principles and standards of contemporary Europe in Montenegrin society. In order to avoid them it is necessary to establish basic preconditions of democratically organized society. Each transitional, but also a developed European country had to focus, in one phase of such socio-psychological change, on reaching particular level of social and primarily political consensus. This was necessary in order to unite the tendencies and capacities for realizing the strategy of social changes (which must comprise both political and civil strategy) and to successfully accomplish the activities on the change of values of European integrations in given society. All those experiences contribute to the conviction that work on implementation of European values and work on further democratization and social transition in Montenegro have to function simultaneously, as a singular process which will rest on both public and civil sector. In the framework of activities of the civil sector, the role of non-governmental organizations is of great significance for the development of various social, economic and political institutions, but also for necessary change of existing mentality and psychological patterns. This text describes the most important practical experiences and activities of non-governmental organisations in Montenegro that are engaged on realizing the abovementioned goals and values. Furthermore, it outlines theoretical-practical basic guidelines for concrete actions- as of non-governmental organisations and other parts of civil sector, thus of public structures, in that segment of their actions which entails cooperation with NGO sector. Also, it represents a suggestion of an action plan of activities of NGOs in Montenegro regarding the promotion of European integrations values. The action plan, as a basis for further activities in this field, comprises a definition of the type of activity, goals of the activity, timeframe of the activity, their models and methods, but also concrete categories, description and classifications of given activities- to the extent it is possible to demonstrate it in this kind of presentation.
