28 July 2019 - Prime Minister Duško Marković stated at Business Forum in Bijelo Polje that the Government invested more than 1 billion EUR from the beginning of the mandate by the end of this year, which makes it the biggest investor in Northern Montenegro. This way the Government paved the way for further development of the North, and now the synergy of the state, private companies and individuals should be proven in practice in order to make Montenegro, along with partnership with the diaspora, a place where people will live with the quality of a European citizen. 

"Today, it is no longer said that there needs to be an investment in the North. At the moment, dozens of projects are being implemented in the North, machines and builders are at every step and in Bijelo Polje in particular. That is why I am looking forward to the organization of this investment forum right here not only because of recognizing the potentials, possible new investment ideas, but also the necessary synergies between the state, private companies and individuals to raise the Montenegrin economy on its feet and make it a place where people will live with the quality of a European citizen. It is our duty to be the bearer of positive changes. To invest smartly and create preconditions for business development in all municipalities and all sectors," Prime Minister Marković said while addressing participants of the first business forum in Bijelo Polje, as stated in the announcement by the Prime Minister's Office.

Prime Minister Marković said that he does not address the attendees only as an official, but also a representative of the largest investor in the north - the Government of Montenegro.

"This is best confirmed by the fact that each day we are getting closer to the opening of the motorway section worth 809 million euros. That is why this is a good opportunity to repeat – it is not financed by either the Chinese company or the Chinese government. The motorway is financed by the state of Montenegro. And it is fully owned by the citizens of Montenegro," Prime Minister Marković said. 

The Forum, which brought together about a hundred business people from Montenegro and abroad, was attended by, among others, Minister of Economy Dragica Sekulić, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro Vlastimir Golubović and the President of the Bijelo Polje Municipality Petar Smolović.
