Dear Conference participants,
Since 2010, the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro has organized its annual Economic Conference, recognized as one of the most important economic events in the region. This event features high-level speakers and offers valuable opportunities for establishing business connections, and attracts hundreds of participants. Continuing our tradition of organizing Economic Conference, this year we aim to refocus on the Berlin Process and the integration of Western Balkan countries into the EU. Our goal is to highlight the importance of continuing our European journey, the necessary reform progress and the future outlook, while emphasizing the positive signals from the EU regarding our aspirations to join the European family. To this end, we are diligently working to secure prominent speakers who would join us in conveying strong messages to our business communities and key economic actors in the Balkans about the prospects of EU integration and the necessity of the reform process.
We welcome you and wish us all a successful work.
Dr Nina Drakić
President of the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro
