The Government of Montenegro, Podgorica Capital City, the Old Royal Capital Cetinje and the municipalities of Budva, Bar and Tivat, as well as the competent state authorities, undertake all necessary activities in order to hold the 18th Games of the Small States of Europe 2019, which will be held in our country from 27 May to 1 June, in order to organise the games at the highest level and use them to promote Montenegro as a stable country and prestigious investment and tourist destination - it was concluded at the first session of the Honourary Committee of the Games of the Small States of Europe 2019, chaired by the Committee Chairman, Prime Minister Duško Marković.
Mayors and presidents of municipalities in which the games will be held informed the Committee about the infrastructure preparation to hold the games, recognising the importance of the competition that will gather more than 1,000 athletes, and so many accompanying staff. They expressed their full readiness to contribute financially to the event by allocating budget funds in addition to EUR 605,000, which the Government allocated for the event.
The Honourary Committee invited public companies and other sponsors to support the competition within the bounds of possibilities, thus contributing to further affirmation of our country.
"These games have not only a sports significance. Since they are made up of small but successful countries of the European Union and behind them are renowned sports organisations, this is a real opportunity for Montenegro to present itself once again to the world in a high-quality way and confirm its economic, political and sporting commitments," PM Marković stressed.
The Games of the Small States of Europe, which have been held since 1985, currently bring together nine countries: Andorra, Montenegro, Iceland, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, and San Marino. The competitions are organised in athletics, bocce, volleyball, beach volleyball, basketball, swimming, judo, shooting, tennis and table tennis.
