“Citizens of Pljevlja,

Pljevlja region is the main source of energy potential of our country, as well as the richest mineral resource.

Natural resources and the potential of Pljevlja, with its valley and clean rivers, must be managed in a sustainable and prudent manner. Protecting the environment by providing the highest environmental standards is the only acceptable and possible development - development that could be the backbone of economic growth of the Montenegrin economy.

Local authorities, with the support of the state, must create the environment and conditions for investment, which means a better living standard of citizens. I am confident that this will be to the benefit of all citizens of Pljevlja and thus Montenegro.

On behalf of the Parliament of Montenegro and on my own behalf, I congratulate you the Municipality Day.”
