Podgorica, Montenegro (20 June 2019) -- At today's session, the Montenegrin Cabinet adopted the Smart Specialisation Strategy of Montenegro (2019-2024) - the first strategic document of this type adopted by a European country outside the EU.
By drafting the Strategy, Montenegro joins the EU initiative, which emphasises a new model of economic development based on targeted support for scientific-research and innovative activities. The Smart Specialisation Strategy sets development priorities, the goal of which is to build competitive advantage by linking their own forces in research and innovation to the needs of the economy, responding in a coherent way to the growing opportunities and market development. Smart specialisation as a key element of economic policy development increases the competitiveness of the economy by concentrating and linking research and innovation resources with a number of defined priority economic areas.
The Government passed the Draft Law Amending the Law on Out-of-Court Proceedings.
The Government passed the Regulation on Collection of Tax Claims with Property of Taxpayers. The regulation allows taxpayers who are not able to regularly pay off their due tax liabilities to pay the tax debt by property. This avoids blocking the account of taxpayers and enables them to continue their business. At the same time, more efficient collection of taxes is achieved and create conditions for taxpayers to properly settle their future tax obligations.
