Abstract

Abstract. This scientific article considers the peculiarities of administrative and legal regulation of obtaining temporary protection for persons from Ukraine who cannot return to the country and were forced to leave due to the armed conflict with the aggressor country in the Republic of Montenegro. A distinction is made between the concepts of "refugee" and "forcibly displaced person". Emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of the legal regulation of this status. The procedure for obtaining temporary protection for persons from Ukraine who cannot return to the country and were forced to leave due to an armed conflict with the aggressor country in the Republic of Montenegro includes the following stages: I. Submission of documents. Persons from Ukraine who wish to obtain the status of temporary protection must apply to the MUP (local police department) to submit a package of documents and perform other certification actions. The package of documents includes: 1. Completion of the application from the applicant. 2. Photograph of the applicant's identity and photocopy of passport. It is emphasized that all persons over 18 years of age apply individually, parents additionally apply for children under 18 years of age. If the applicant has minor and / or minor children, such applications are filled in by one of the parents or the legal representative. The statement at the end of the signature is handwritten with an indication indicating the level of kinship (eg, mother, legal representative). A person who has received temporary protection has the right to: 1) a residence permit for the period of temporary protection (for 1 year with the possibility of extension); 2) access to work (there is no requirement to wait 6 months in contrast to obtaining refugee status in this case); 3) access to education.
