Since it is intended to provide the Montenegrin diplomatic-consular network, potential investors and the interested public with all the necessary information in one place, its added value is precisely in because it presents complex matter to the user in a simple and comprehensible way, while at the same time telling the story of the authenticity of Montenegro," reads the MFA announcement.
