Podgorica, Montenegro (6 September 2018) -- At today's session, the Montenegrin Cabinet considered the request of Italy for the reception of migrants from the Diciotto ship in Catania and expressed its willingness to welcome up to 5 migrants in Montenegro, thus respecting the principles of humanity and solidarity with people in need, as traditional values of the Montenegrin society.
The decision was made unanimously, thus confirming Montenegro’s commitment to the European system of values and readiness to affirm the dignity of people.
The Cabinet also passed the Regulation on the conditions, method of acquiring and using the national brand logo in the public sector. The passing of the regulation creates conditions for a unique representation of Montenegro and its competitive advantages through a visual identity, that is, a logo that will follow the appropriate slogan. The joint use of the national brand of public sector entities will enable a stronger transfer of a unique message to the foreign public. The regulation will come into force on 1 January 2019.
The Cabinet also passed the Regulation Amending the Regulation on Establishing a Network of Air Quality Monitoring Points, which legally regulates the first revision of the network of measuring points for air quality monitoring, which is carried out regularly every five years in accordance with the Law on Air Protection. The first revision plans to expand the network from the current 7 to 10 metering points and move certain existing metering points to more representative locations or sites that are considered potentially more vulnerable. Also, it is envisaged to establish a measuring point for monitoring transboundary transmission of pollution at large distances in order to spread knowledge about the transboundary impact of pollution.
