1.12 ICT Market Impediments eg: piracy, issues with import? issues with download?Around four-fifths of software used in Montenegro is believed to be pirated, according to the Montenegrin office of software giant Microsoft. According to a survey done by Microsoft17, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania has the highest rate of software piracy in the region, and some companies in these countries that sell equipment and software encourage this rate on a high level. This survey showed a slight upward trend in regular mode software sales. The government has adopted a set of legal documents in the field of intellectual property rights, but their implementation did not show significant results. Generally, illegal use applies to the private sector and individuals because the government has signed a contract on a strategic partnership with Microsoft, and has introduced licensed software in most public bodies, including the municipal authorities. Almost all big companies in Montenegro have legal software, and significant number of medium entreprises, but it is not the case with small companies, NGOs and individuals. According to Business Software Alliance losses from software piracy in Montenegro come to 8 million EUR a year.
