PM Krivokapić meets with ambassadors in Belgrade
Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić met today with the ambassadors of the United States of America, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy to the Republic of Serbia, including 32 non-resident ambassadors to Montenegro.
The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction over attendance of all invited ambassadors, and presented the economic plans of the Government of Montenegro, including investment potentials and capacities that our country has. He especially referred to the three reform programmes that the Government will start in 2022, namely: economic programme "Europe now!", administrative and legal programme "Europe here!" and investment programme "Montenegro now!"
Prime Minister Krivokapić said that the new Government plans investments of nearly half a billion euros, with an emphasis on regional roads, educational and health infrastructure (schools, kindergartens and hospitals), as well as investments in renewable energy sources.
The meeting stressed Montenegro's huge tourist potentials, which can be interesting for foreign investors. The potentials of Ulcinj and the idea of new Ulcinj, forest and water resources in the north, investment in airport infrastructure, etc. were also emphasised.
Prime Minister Krivokapić pointed out that the internal political situation in Montenegro is turbulent, but that despite everything, the idea of an expert government proved to be superior, because it was formed on the basis of expertise and competence of ministers, and not on the basis of party, national, religious or any other affiliation.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister reminded of the fact that the first democratic shift in the elections in Montenegro, in August last year, brought an increase in support for Montenegro's EU integration and NATO membership by over 10%, as evidenced by recent public opinion polls.
The distinguished ambassadors asked questions to the Prime Minister, and showed a strong interest in deepening economic cooperation between Montenegro and their countries.
