Weekly briefing

Risk, regulation and responsibility for places

Retrospective for 26 August–1 September: the EBA consultation, Montenegro’s legislative process and security in educational institutions. Prepared on 8 September 2026.

EBA: an operational-risk draft, not a new duty effective today

What changed

On 26 August, the EBA opened a consultation on draft technical standards for operational-risk management under CRR3. Comments are due by 31 December 2026.

Editorial interpretation and suggested checks

Why it matters

Our editorial assessment: relevant institutions can use the proposal to review responsibilities, records and reporting. A draft is not a final rule, and the EU banking framework is not automatically a general obligation for every organisation in the region.

What to check

  • Record existing requirements, proposed changes and the person monitoring their status separately.
  • For one operational loss, trace the cause, risk owner, control, action and management report.

Montenegro: track the version of the proposal, not just the law’s title

What changed

The government statement published on 1 September covers decisions of 31 August on withdrawing earlier amendments and proposing new amendments to the draft personal-data protection law.

Editorial interpretation and suggested checks

Why it matters

Our editorial conclusion: the document version and legal status matter when planning compliance. The statement alone does not establish that the law has been adopted, entered into force or triggered a new implementation deadline.

What to check

  • Distinguish current law, draft legislation and amendments in the obligations register; retain the date and source of each version.
  • Assign legal counsel or the data-protection function to check the final text and applicability before changing internal procedures.

School security: connect staffing to the actual location

What changed

On 31 August, RTCG relayed a ministry announcement approving temporary physical security in Montenegrin educational institutions from 1 September until the end of 2026.

Editorial interpretation and suggested checks

Why it matters

Our editorial recommendation: examine such a measure at the level of the building, entrance, shift and responsibility. This is not evidence of a new general duty for every school in the region, nor proof that security staffing alone resolves every risk.

What to check

  • Map entrances, sensitive zones, responsible people and the incident-reporting route for a building.
  • Check shift handover, who confirms the response and where the identified problem and action taken are recorded.
