November 13, 2018 - Don’t touch art. Use it, is the name of the exhibition, which, under the sponsorship by the company Cerovo, opened on Thursday at the ULUCG Art Pavilion.

The exhibition was opened by the architect Tamara Bačlija, representing the company Cerovo, and pointed out that there is not much talk about industrial design in our country, which is certainly one of the branches that we can give a contribution to as artists and a nation.

The exhibition draws attention to the object, its shape, its eccentricity, and its beauty.

"Also, with this exhibition we are trying to put the industrial design in Montenegro in the focus of interest, to encourage all of you to realize your ideas. The company Cerovo wants to be the ambassador of a good, but also domestic design, and is ready to support every valuable initiative," Bačlija added.

The visitors had the opportunity to see the exhibits provided by the company Cerovo, photographs by Djordje Zivaljevic, as well as a short documentary movie.

The exhibition will last another five days, and everybody can visit it at the ULUCG Art Pavilion from 9am to 2pm and from 6 pm to 8 pm.

According to him, the Government of Montenegro, each year, allocates 700,000 euros for continuing medical education through the budget of the Ministry of Health.

Speaking about the capacities and excellence of Montenegrin doctors, as well as the Government's investments in human resources, Hrapović reminded that recently, Dr. Nemanja Radojević, through the program of continuing medical education, at the invitation of Hardwood University, among seven thousand applicants from all over the world won the placement among the top five and there he continued his professional development.

General Director of the Directorate for Quality Control and Human Resources in Health, prof. Dr. Vesna Miranović said that the task of the health authorities to recognize the true talents and future leaders in this area who will be able to assume responsibility in the future, know, have a vision, fight for goals and not to give up on this path.

"It's exactly this way that the Ministry of Health recognizes young potential and takes care of young people, represents the phenomenal synergy where together we can contribute to the improvement of the health system. In spite of the fact that our system is often a target of negative criticism, when you go somewhere in the region, you actually notice the benefits of our system, and learn to appreciate what you have," said Dr. Lutovac.

The best student of his generation, a specialist in internal medicine at KCCG, Dr. Vasilije Boskovic, thanked the Ministry of Health for recognizing their efforts, work and results, as well as giving them support on the path towards a common goal, as he said, to be a service to our people, first of all as good people, and then as exceptional professionals.

"Their support represents a guarantee and a tailwind so we continue to try harder, to work and to gain new knowledge and experiences. And all that has been done so far, the Ministry of Health deserves respect, which is a guarantee of the Government's commitment to improve the health of its people. I never had a dilemma of whether I would work somewhere abroad. From the very beginning and before I enrolled in medicine, I knew it and it was always my goal to contribute to my people and my country, so it will be in the future," said Dr .Bošković.

November 12, 2018 - The ALFA Center this year, for the sixth consecutive year, will mark World Day of Remembrance for Victims of Traffic Accidents. The event is sually celebrated around the world during the third week of November since 1993.

This time they are launching the campaign "Let it Ring", which is realized until 18 November in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior, which aims to draw attention to the dangers of using mobile devices while driving, reducing the number injured and killed in traffic accidents and raising the level of the traffic culture among all the citizens in Montenegro.

"The use of mobile phones while driving is one of the most common causes of most traffic accidents. To this end, we will conduct a campaign through social networks, as well as through the media that will support us. 17 billboards were posted across Montenegro with a message "Let it Ring" and a series of actions are planned in which members of the Alpha Center together with members of the Police Directorate in several towns at the busiest intersections will control the traffic and warn of the dangers of using mobile phones,” said Branko Cupic, Project Coordinator.

It is important to note that one of the main disadvantages is inadequate electronic records in the health system, which does not show effectively the cases of injured and treated in health institutions, the course of rehabilitation, and the generated costs incurred due to traffic accidents.

"Each country, in accordance with its national legislation, should identify key risk factors for traffic behavior, such as speed, driving under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances, use of helmets and belts, children's seats, the use of mobile phones while driving, the conditions of the existing traffic infrastructure, technical characteristics of transportation means, adequate issuance of medical certificates for drivers, taking driving exams and issuing driver's licenses," said the NGO ALFA Centar.

November 12, 2018 - In addition to the Native Museum in the Castle of King Nikola, Old Town, Bar has another museum under the open sky. Since 2013 in the military part of the port, there is also a naval military museum, the setting of the former arms of the arsenal of the Montenegrin Navy, former JNA, and the Yugoslav Army, that is, Serbia and Montenegro.

Exhibits are well preserved despite the time from when they were produced, and visitors can only see them through a wired fence, unlike in Tivat where at Porto Montenegro parts of the armory and models of the former Yugoslav naval ships are available for sightseeing, along with the basic information and expert explanation.

Anti-ship mines, which are lined up from ships or submarines, are exposed to the Jetty next to the ships, which, with their explosive charging of the warheads and over a hundred kilos of TNT explosives, could destroy even the large war and merchant's vessels. There are anti-submarine mines that were fired from large patrol boats like "Kotor", anti-submarine mines, minesweepers used to discover mines, and more. 

Due to the rationalization and modernization of the Montenegrin Navy, all of those once-murderous assets were thrown out of the arms, and the exhibited items were, as the military dictionary says, disarmed and the explosive charges were removed from them.

The unique setting was exposed to the public on 13^th July 2013, when for the first time the Day of Open Doors was organized by the Montenegrin Navy in honor of the Statehood Day.

In addition to other exhibits, there is also a hyperbaric chamber used by members of diving and underwater diversion units, both for training and in case of an underwater incident.

Special attention is drawn to the large winged rocket, which was fired from the launcher from the deck of frigates, rocket guns and rocket boats. The rocket had a range of more than 70 miles and at the same time, it represented the terror for the navies of neighboring countries.

"The anti-ship missile P-20/21 represents an improved version of the missile P-15 (SS-N-2 Stix). The maximum range of the rocket is 80 kilometers and the cruising speed is 0,9M (900 km / h). Immediately after the launch, the rocket goes into the cruise mode at a height of 300 to 500 meters, and the guidance is inertial - autopilot. At a distance of 10-15 km, encompassing the target, the rocket switches to the active radar self-leveling mode (P-20) or IC self- -21) and reduces the height of the flight to 50 meters, until it hits the target. The total mass of the rocket is 2600 kilograms, of which 513 is the warhead," reads the description of the once-murderous war weapon on the internet forum www.paluba.info which is known for the professional processing of military issues.

Attention is also drawn to the torpedo of 533-millimeter caliber, which the Yugoslav submarines had as the basic weapon until their final disposal. The torpedo had a warhead with more than 200 kilos of very devastating explosives.

In addition to the rest of the underwater arsenal, anti-submarine mines that were in the armory of patrol boats and ships, and anti-submarine mines that served to defend ships on the connection and on an anchor of enemy underwater saboteurs are also set up.

The largest part of the exemplified weapons are Russian, that is, the USSR production.

The non-governmental association "Sua Sponte" launched an initiative in 2008 that the Museum in Bar should get a Navy department.
