The event brought together eight media representatives from Euronews, Radio Montenegro, Dnevne novine DAN, Pobjeda, TV Vijesti, and the Centre for Investigative Journalism. The discussion focused on findings related to the Strategic Framework for Public Administration Reform, Digitalisation and Service Delivery, the Civil Service System and Human Resource Management, and Public Financial Management, presenting comparative data from across the Western Balkans with a particular focus on Montenegro. According to the monitoring results, Montenegro ranked fourth in the Strategic Framework for Public Administration Reform, fifth in Digitalisation and Service Delivery, fifth in the Civil Service System and Human Resource Management, and third in Public Financial Management.

The event received coverage from several media outlets and online portals, including Mina News, TV E, Biznis.me, Bankar.me, and the daily newspaper DAN, while a special feature on public financial management was also produced for the news programme Vijesti u pola 7.
