The mayor of Podgorica, Olivera Injac, said that it is important to transform Podgorica into a functional environment that will serve the citizens, starting with the infrastructure, through the local self-government system, and up to the improvement of the investment environment, so that the city gets a new dimension of development.
She said this at a meeting with Karen Maddox, the British ambassador to Montenegro, according to a statement from the Capital City.
"She discussed with Madox the challenges that need to be overcome in order to speed up the development of Podgorica as a functional environment with the application of best practices that include practices from the UK," the statement said.
"Maddox congratulated the newly elected mayor, noting that all local governments face certain challenges that need to be resolved," the announcement states.
As she said, she is also happy that a woman is at the head of Podgorica, believing that it will bring a new perspective to this role.
"We have a long tradition of friendly relations with Montenegro and I look forward to further cooperation with the administration of Podgorica. We have existing cooperation in areas such as the fire and rescue service, health care, and I believe that in the coming period we will be able to find opportunities to exchange best practices in other areas, including transportation, clean energy and cultural events," Maddox added.
