Tivat, (MINA-BUSINESS) – Adviser to the President of Montenegro for Sustainable Development Olivera Vukajlovic said that the development of entrepreneurship must be accompanied by stronger institutional support, a more stable business environment, and concrete economic measures that will enable young people to turn their ideas into sustainable businesses.

Speaking at the Business Beat conference in Tivat, she stated that the fact the event is being organized for the second consecutive year confirms the growing entrepreneurial spirit among young people in Montenegro, but also the need for the state and institutions to support their development much more actively.

“Young people in Montenegro have ideas, knowledge, ambition, and courage. What they often lack is a strong sense that the institutions stand behind them clearly, consistently, and predictably,” Vukajlovic said.

She welcomed the role of the Municipality of Tivat and the Business Info Centre, saying that their continuous cooperation represents important support for young entrepreneurs and local initiatives.

Vukajlovic added that conferences such as Business Beat are important because they create space for dialogue, networking, and the exchange of ideas, as well as for initiating changes that can contribute to stronger economic development in Montenegro.
