The Montenegrin healthcare system provides adequate therapy and treatment for children with mental disorders, said Mevlida Gusinjac, Director the Directorate for Health Protection at the Ministry of Health.
In the Mental Health Report in Montenegro, the Ombudsperson stated that children with mental disorders do not exercise the right to complete, adequate and quality healthcare.
Gusinjac said that in Montenegro, within the health institutions at the primary level of health care and in the Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG), the treatment of children with mental disorders is organized.
According to her, numerous activities are being carried out in order to provide the conditions for organizing the services, i.e. the construction of the Clinic for psychiatry within the KCCG, which will include the department of child psychiatry. "Until the construction of this clinic, the health care system, as mentioned, provides adequate therapy and treatment for children with mental disorders," Gusinjac told MINA.
She pointed out that the Ministry of Health, as an imperative and an important challenge, recognized the care of children with psychiatric disorders.
"As it is a very sensitive category of population, very carefully, primarily systemically, we tend to provide adequate conditions for the medical treatment that is necessary for them," emphasized Gusinjac.
She explained that the first check-ups, for the detection and recognition of psychiatric disorders in a child, are performed by selected pediatricians in health centers. "They evaluate the mental development and mental maturity of children through ten preventive examinations in the first, second, fourth year of life, as well as before going to elementary school, in the second, fourth, sixth and ninth grade of the primary school, as well as in the first and third grade of the high school," Gusinjac explained.
Also, she adds, in the centers for children with special needs within the health centers there is a team of specially trained and educated pediatricians and psychologists, as well as a speech therapist and physiatrist.
Gusinjac pointed out that the Youth Counseling also works in health centers with participation of the selected pediatrician, psychologist and psychiatrist.
According to her, a psychiatrist for adults, as well as a child psychiatrist from Belgrade, was engaged in the KCCG Children's Institute, due to the lack of child psychiatrists. "So that children with mental disorders are provided with adequate and high-quality health care," Gusinjeć emphasized. As she explained, the decision on treatment is made by the whole team.
"A psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist, and if the need for additional treatments is required, the KCCG Psychiatric Clinic sends patients to the Institute of Mental Health or the Children's Clinic for Psychiatry in Belgrade, with which the Health Insurance Fund has concluded a treaty on providing the treatment," said Gusinjac.
She said that three Clinical Psychologists are working at the Clinical Psychiatric Clinic of the Clinical Center (KCG), while specialists of children's psychiatry who come from Belgrade have been engaged in the Center for Autism and are conducting examinations on the weekends.
"Currently there are three Doctors of Medicine specializing in child psychiatry and one psychologist specializing in clinical psychology, which will, after their completed education, improve the provision of health care for children with psychiatric disorders," Gusinjac said.
She stated that at present there are no registers of children with developmental disabilities and mental disorders.
Gusinjac explained that children's and young people's registers with psychophysical developmental disorders and psychosocial disorders, for the growth and development of children and youth, for psychoses, for personnel in the healthcare system and for institutions, are expected to be developed in the course of March.

For me, the carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is far better than the most luxurious Persian carpet, said Helen Keler, an American writer and fighter for the rights of people with disabilities.
It seems that this maxim is also followed by a woman from Niksic Marina Kovacevic, winner of the prize “Iskra” for civil contribution to the common good. Her "carpet" is the meadow of Zupa in Niksic, the place from which she originates, in which she lives and tries to promote as much as possible.
"Marina Kovacevic is an example of how an individual can initiate, promote, create, and influence the changes. She is the coordinator of “Morakovo”, responsible for the agro-tourism cluster "Zupa", but before that, and above all, she is a lover of the natural beauties and potentials of her homeland and someone who, by connecting and networking the organizations, associations, households, and local self-government, wants to get the most out of it for the benefits of Zupa," they said at the ceremony.
"Prizes are the incentive for further work, so this one will encourage me as well. I will continue to work in the same direction until Zupa becomes an example in Montenegro for sustainable agritourism," says Kovačević for "Vijesti". Ten years ago, she founded NGO "Morakovo " and since then she has been trying to present to everyone what Župa has to offer and with which it can and must be proud, but also what can be used.
Since the 1970s, there has been an initiative for Zupa to connect with Kolašin. This is the closest link from the sea to the north of Montenegro, and to Zupa and Niksic, and it would be very significant. I think that by building this road Zupa will become an example in Montenegro and the region for sustainable agritourism.
"Zupa has huge potential for doing business with agriculture and tourism, human resources, which is also the most important for the development of the villages, the cultural, natural and historical potential that only a few areas have in Montenegro, a school with around 600 students, educated young people," lists Marina.
And the list is indefinable. Therefore, she would never, as she says, change Zupa for a life in the city. And why would she, when Zupa "has almost all conditions for a modern and quality life".
For the last six months, she is responsible in the Agri-tourism cluster "Zupa" where she tries to get the most for the benefits of Župa by connecting and networking organizations, associations, households and local self-government. "I think that anyone, whether it is in the civil sector or not, can initiate, promote, create and influence changes in their community. I admit that I am a lover of the natural beauty and the potentials of my homeland.
Marina reminds that Zupa has a great potential
While many talk about the exodus of the villages, she is trying to prove that the villages can "live", that this process, truth to be told, is going slow but it does not mean we should give up because "there is no life without a village."
"There are models of support for young farmers in Montenegro, but I think that there should be more recognition in the Ministry of Agriculture to see exactly who these young people are, give them wind in the back and promote them more. Only in Lukavica there is a dozen 'young' families who are successfully dealing with agriculture, and who have not used any measure of support. The media should also visit and promote young farmers, together with the civil sector, to influence decision-makers in order to create conditions for sustainable agriculture and rural tourism."
Although, she says, every individual can contribute to the affirmation of the region in which she or he lives, however, in her opinion, only united, with quality and tradition this can be successful.

10 January 2019 - According to the annual list of the Henley and Partners Company, Japan still proudly bears the title of the most powerful passport in the world. Montenegro occupied the 45th position which means that Montenegrin people can access 123 destinations without a prior visa.
Second place is taken by Singapore and South Korea, while France and Germany share the third position whereas Denmark, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Luxembourg, and Spain take position number five.
The sixth position is held by Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the USA.
Belgium, Canada, Greece, and Ireland share the seventh position on the list of the most powerful passports. The Czech Republic is in the eight spot and Malta in the ninth. Also, Australia also found its place among the top 10, sharing its position with Iceland and New Zealand.
Boasting cutting-edge expert commentary and historical data spanning 14 years, the Henley Passport Index is the original ranking of all the world’s passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa. The ranking is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world’s largest and most accurate database of travel information, and it is enhanced by extensive, ongoing research by the Henley & Partners Research Department.
The Henley Passport Index website provides comprehensive, printable lists of the countries you can access visa-free, with an electronic visa (e-Visa), with a visa on arrival, or with a normal visa. It also allows you to compare the strength of passports and understand how you might improve your travel freedom with alternative citizenship.
When asked about why global mobility matters today, the Henley and Partners Company stated: "As the world economy has become increasingly globalized, the need for greater visa-free access has grown steadily. Across the economic spectrum, individuals want to transcend the constraints imposed on them by their country of origin and access business, financial, career, and lifestyle opportunities on a global scale."
"Wealthy individuals, in particular, are more cosmopolitan and transnational today than ever before, with roots, networks, assets, properties, and even citizenship spanning multiple countries. In many ways, global connectivity has become an indispensable feature of wealth creation and wealth preservation, and its value will only grow as regional volatility and instability increase," as concluded in the report on The Henley Passport Index.
January 11, 2019 - From the Institute of Marine Biology (IBM), they have announced EUR 700,000 for the international “Food for Health” project to be implemented in cooperation with Italian and Albanian colleagues.
January 11, 2019 - The first ten days of January this year saw the weather colder than the average, and preliminary data from meteorological stations show that the average air temperature is lower in all places in Montenegro, said meteorologist Dragan Burić.
"Given that it has almost become a rule that the weather is warmer than is customary for the year, we can say that the first decade of January this year is unique because it is colder than the average. According to preliminary data from our meteorological stations, the average air temperature for the first decade of January is lower than the average in all places in Montenegro," Burić said.
