Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology of Montenegro is formed by Decree on the organization and manner of work of Public Administration, 23 January 2012, by merging two institutions:

Mandate of IHMS MNE Observation and measurement of meteo, hydro, eco and agrometeo parameters Analysis, processing, archiving of measured and observed parameters Production of studies, elaborates, analysis and information about climate, condition of the soil, air, surface and ground water and coastal sea Forecasting and dissemination data (meteo, hydro, eco and agrometeo) Establish IT system with databases (climate, hydrology, ecology, agrometeorology) Establish and Maintain of Network Station (meteo, hydro, agrometeo) to monitor weather condition, water, air, soil Climate Monitor and Assess Analysis of Extremes through Climate Indexes counting Production of information, announcements and analysis of meteorological parameters for certain period for electronic and writing media Control and Assess of surface and ground water quality, precipitation, air, soil on the basis of physico-chemical, biochemical and radiological parameters

COF, Marrakech, Morocco, November 2015 South East European Consortium for Operational weather Prediction (SEECOP) 27 June 2016 in Bar, Montenegro. Financial support from WMO. The participants officially established the SEECOP Council (comprising of Members’ Directors) and Coordination Experts Team. Members nominally adopted the proposed annual and mid-term SEECOP work plans 2016 -2021. The proposal that the NHMS of Belarus becomes a new SEECOP Member was unanimously adopted. The next meeting will be held in the autumn of 2017 in Belgrade, Serbia.
