28 September 2018 - President of the Government, Duško Marković, said to the Montenegrin diaspora in the USA that it made a considerable contribution to Montenegro as it is today. Thanks to the diaspora, we have a country we are proud of. The Multi-ethnic and multi-religious diaspora is the greatest strength of Montenegro which shall be used for development and investment.
“If it were not for you, we would not be able to speak about European and Euro-Atlantic modern and European Montenegro. Therefore, we owe you great respect and thank you for everything you did then, in the most difficult moments and thank you for what you are doing now. Tough times are behind us. The emotion was not the only thing necessary but also bravery,” said Marković.
He said to emigrants that today we are all enjoying the benefits of the decision made then, that Montenegro today is so much different than it was in 2006. The country is now a NATO member, it is working on consolidating its finances, it is constantly attracting foreign investments and enjoys an excellent reputation in the world.
“Our objective is not that you send the money to your homeland, but rather we want to create an environment where people will start businesses and invest money. I believe you can change the Government in changing the approach. We have to encourage people in the municipalities to produce ideas and to put the pressure on the government. I’m telling you now - the Government will support every single project adopted in the municipality,” said Marković.
