Yesterday, the Municipality of Tivat held its traditional award ceremony for Tivat students - winners of the Luča and Đak generacije diplomas, as well as students who achieved success in national and international competitions for the 2024/25 school year.
A ceremonial reception was held in the full large hall of the Tivat Cultural Center for students who achieved exceptional results in their studies, extracurricular activities and competitions during their education.
In addition to the students, the event brought together their families, friends, teachers, and representatives of the local community, who provided strong support and enhanced the ceremony with their presence.
The President of the Municipality of Tivat, Željko Komnenović, pointed out that the successes of Tivat's students are a reason for the pride of the entire community, emphasizing that children make up the heart and future of every city.
"Here is a solemn moment that we should all share together, because we have reason to be happy and satisfied that this city has such a large number of talented children. Let us remember the Municipality Day, when our hearts were full when we saw Tivat students who have an average of 10.00 at prestigious universities and faculties in the region, and all of them came from Tivat educational institutions. It was a pride to attend yesterday's awarding of the Light and recognition to the best students at the "Drago Milović" Elementary School and see how many talented, young and beautiful children we have that this city can count on in the coming years. That is what makes a city - not streets, buildings, facilities - but people. And we will always support our children, who achieve success through their work, effort and with the support of parents and teachers, as a local government. Dear children, travel, get educated, learn, discover new horizons and regions, but please - return to Tivat, because this is the most beautiful city. Without you, Tivat will not be the same. I wish you luck and perseverance on this "on the road," said Mayor Komnenović to the best Tivat students.
A student of the generation of the "Mladost" Secondary Mixed School, Bojana Hercegovac thanked her teachers and parents for being the wind at her back, but also a safe harbor when things were difficult.
She also thanked the Municipality for the awards because it has a special meaning for them, that their efforts and success are valued.
"Today is not the end of our learning and improvement, but only the completion of one stage in this complex educational process. With pleasure, full of positive emotions, we look back on the years that shaped us and directed us towards a common goal. Although the beautiful and most carefree period has come to an end, I am sure that we are ready to set sail for new life victories. In the classrooms we did not just learn - we grew there. From those days we will take not only grades, but also the friendships that were created. We were not alone on that path. Thank you, dear professors, and of course our parents. Thank you for being the wind at our backs, but also a safe harbor when it was difficult for us," said, among other things, Hercegovac, thanking the municipality for the awards it awarded them.
"They have a special meaning for us, and that is that effort and success are valued. This certainly obliges us to continue with serious work and always contribute with pleasure to the promotion and progress of our city. All the beautiful things we have learned, experienced and felt in Tivat will be the foundation for the new challenges that await us. Our generation is going in different directions, but wherever we go, we will carry a part of this place with us and always return to it with a full heart. Thank you to everyone who is part of this journey. Together we wrote a chapter of life. It is time to move on, but always with full strength, a smile and the heart that we have built here," concluded Hercegovac.
A student of the generation of the "Drago Milović" Elementary School, Lazar Brinić, pointed out that school was not only a place of learning, but also a place where one becomes a person.
"We have new paths ahead of us, high schools, new challenges. But elementary school will forever be the foundation - the foundation on which we build everything we are yet to become. Once again, thank you all. I am honored to have been part of this generation," he emphasized.
The Mayor of the Municipality, Željko Komnenović, presented the students of the "Mladost" Secondary School with "Luča" diplomas, while the "Branko Brinić" and "Drago Milović" elementary schools were presented with "Luča" diplomas by the Vice Mayor of the Municipality, Jovan Brinić.
