Abazović takes part in AmCham Montenegro’s "Openly with the Prime Minister" Event

The Government of Montenegro and the American Chamber of Commerce in Montenegro have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation within the Chamber's new programme "Rule of Dialogue". The Memorandum was signed by Prime Minister Dritan Abazović and AmCham Montenegro’s Managing Board Chairman Svetlana Vuksanović at the traditional event "Openly with the Prime Minister".

AmCham's Executive Director Marko Miročević said that the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation marks the beginning of a new phase of more intensive partnership on the path to improving the business environment, whose main goal is the rule of dialogue. 

Timely, continuous and high-quality communication between the business community and public administration, as envisaged by the AmCham Rule of Dialogue programme, will increase the effects of our teamwork. In the end, that will truly improve the business environment and bring it closer to the standards of developed economies, Miročević pointed out.

Ambassador of the United States of America to Montenegro Judy Rising Reinke welcomed the partnership of the United States of America with the Government of Montenegro and the American Chamber of Commerce.

We encourage strong cooperation and open dialogue between the public and private sectors, which will improve the business climate, create transparency and trust and build the best environment for innovation and entrepreneurship, which are key factors in Montenegro's success, said Rising Reinke.

The event discussed the most important issues for the business community and the opportunities and challenges facing Montenegro.

AmCham Montenegro’s Managing Board Chairman Svetlana Vuksanović said that the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Government of Montenegro and AmCham lays a good foundation to contribute to a predictable and transparent business environment based on the rule of law through the Rule of Dialogue programme.

I am confident that together, as partners, through the AmCham Rule of Dialogue programme, we will strengthen the basis for retaining existing and attracting new reputable investors from the US and Western European countries, who expect a safe, transparent and predictable business environment, said Vuksanović.

Prime Minister Dritan Abazović emphasised the importance of signing the Memorandum of Cooperation and the activities of the American Chamber of Commerce when it comes to the development of the business and business community.

Timely involvement of esteemed partners from AmCham in the existing high-level platforms for dialogue between the Government of Montenegro and the economy is invaluable for the Government I lead, in the context of creating a predictable business environment, with special focus on combating the grey economy, implementing smart economic diversification, implementing carefully designed structural reforms and creating well-paid jobs for Montenegrin citizens, said Abazović.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Montenegro will sign special Memorandum of Cooperation with each relevant ministry.
