Boris Marđonović, in front of the Chamber of Crafts of Montenegro, spoke for Boje morta about the types of assistance that artisans expect from the state, in order to overcome the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

"We are asking for a transition to a social market economy, but we are not asking for social assistance from the state," announced Marđonović.

As he says, businessmen and artisans need as much freedom as possible, and state aid only as much as is necessary.

"The Chamber of Commerce boasted that the Government accepted its proposals, as well as other organizations, so I think it would be best if all organizations joined together and submitted joint proposals for measures for improvement," notes Marđonović.

He adds that those who see the perspective of their work should take a loan with long-term repayment and an appropriate grace period, and that those who do work without registration will not find support, but that the state should have zero tolerance for the appearance of the black market.

"The appearance of the gray economy is a big problem for an economy, and I think that the state should have zero tolerance for the appearance of the black market, but also provide all those who do business according to the regulations with an appropriate atmosphere for business development," said Marđonović.
