"President Milatović expressed his satisfaction that Dr. Mačić, as a result of his initiative during the conversation with the President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev, will have the opportunity to be part of this important mission," his cabinet announced.
He pointed out that he is particularly proud of the fact that Dr. Mačić will be the first female scientist from Montenegro to stay at the South Pole, thus laying the foundations for a greater presence of Montenegrin researchers in international scientific projects.

He said that this is an opportunity to "promote our scientists on a global level, but also to improve the status of Montenegro on the European and world scientific scene".
In the end, it was concluded that this is an important moment for Montenegrin science and that the participation of Dr. Mačić at the South Pole will be an incentive for both young scientists and institutions to intensify their work on international cooperation and the development of science in our country.
