Minister of Sports and Youth, Dragoslav Šćekić, today signed contracts on co-financing of programs with 12 sports clubs from the First Category of sports that are on the program of the Olympic Games, the department announced.
The Ministry of Sports and Youth allocated 170 euros for clubs from the mentioned category, which were allocated to:
Football club "Gorštak" Kolašin; Women's football club "Breznica" Pljevlja; Basketball club "Sutjeska" Nikšić; Women's basketball club "Primorje" Herceg Novi; Swimming water polo club "Budućnost" Podgorica; Swimming Water Polo Club "Budva-Budva Riviera" Budva; Handball club "Lovćen" Cetinje; Women's handball club "Budućnost" Podgorica; Volleyball club "Budva" Budva; Women's Volleyball Club "Galeb" Bar; Athletic Club "Sanja" Bar; Athletic club "Rudar" Pljevlja.
The announcement of the Ministry also states:
Minister Šćekić expressed his satisfaction that the Government of Montenegro and the Ministry of Sports and Youth were able to provide additional funds for the implementation of the program of sports clubs.
"We used our legal opportunity to financially support the work of the clubs and make it at least a little easier for them to carry out their daily activities. In the coming period, we will make efforts to work systematically on improving the conditions for all clubs," Šćekić said.
The representatives of the sports clubs thanked Minister Šćekić and expressed confidence that he will fully justify the money and trust of the Ministry.
During the distribution of funds, care was taken to support renowned sports clubs with a tradition, in which equal representation, gender equality, as well as public interest in the field of sports were taken into account.
Also, care was taken to support sports clubs for the development of young talents in order to popularize playing sports among young people," the Ministry's announcement concludes.
However, the fact that in the selection of favored clubs reputation was not really taken into account, the sports results speak for themselves. In some clubs from the "privileged" list, even the most zealous chroniclers do not remember any significant results.
The absence of a competition with clear criteria raises doubts about the very process of wanting to improve Olympic sports in Montenegro.
