With a view to advancing the electricity sector in Montenegro in line with the country’s development needs, the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Montenegrin Electricity Distribution System, Elektroprivreda Crne Gore and the Montenegrin Electricity Transmission System signed cooperation agreements on 27 November.
The agreements were signed at the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts by CANU President, Academician Dragan K. Vukčević, EPCG Board of Directors Chair Milutin Đukanović, CEDIS Executive Director Vladimir Čađenović and CGES Executive Director Ivan Asanović.
CANU President, Academician Dragan K. Vukčević, said on this occasion that institutions need to form networks and cooperate with one another, as the future of development lies in this synergy.
– CANU has an ENEKO Centre, which we established a relatively long time ago but which has not been very active. It was set up as a centre for energy, ecology and sustainable development. I am pleased that members of the Academy—Vice President Ljubiša Stanković and Academician Igor Đurović—have launched an initiative to revive the Centre and cooperate with energy companies, which is a significant step towards networking institutions in Montenegro, Vukčević noted, adding:
– I hope that, based on this agreement, we will hold round tables, scientific conferences, forums and joint projects. I believe this can benefit both the energy companies and our institution.
CEDIS Executive Director Vladimir Čađenović emphasised that energy companies are in great need of scientific expertise in their work.
– At our previous meeting, we saw that there is ample scope for cooperation, that we need one another and that we will work together for the benefit of the state and society. I expect the results of cooperation between the energy companies and the country’s highest scientific institution to become evident in the shortest possible time, Čađenović noted.
