Montenegro geopolitically belongs to the West, and that is why direct investments from the USA are important, which would have an impact on increasing the credibility of our investment environment, Prime Minister Dritan Abazović said at a round table with representatives of the US trade mission, which brings together 22 American companies from the ICT industry and clean technology industries.
– We want to see American investors involved in strategic investments, such as the LNG terminal in the Port of Bar – said Abazović.
He invited American investors to invest in sustainable sources of energy, such as solar panels, introducing them to the fact that Montenegro is a regional energy hub that can place its product on the European market without major problems.
