9. Poverty Who are the poor in Montenegro?
According to data from the final version of the "Strategy of development and poverty reduction" absolute poverty is especially present among the RAE population (52.2%), as well as refugees (38.8%) and internally displaced persons (38.6%), while among local population, the percentage was (2003).

10. Poverty
Absolute poverty in Montenegro affects a relatively small percentage of the population by 10.9%, while it ranges between 8.4 and 13.6%, where the poor are concentrated in the central and northern regions and rural areas (Strategy, 2007). 
A large part of the population is vulnerable to poverty. Regardless of how many people are poor, many more are those who are subject to shocks that will make them poor (Strategy, 2007).
It is clear that under the poverty line, according to the strategy, are the dominant members of the RAE population, refugees and displaced persons (Strategy, 2007).
