"This recognition comes as confirmation that the Capital City consistently develops policies based on European principles - openness, cooperation and active participation of citizens in building a community," said the President of the Capital City Assembly, Dr. Jelena Borovinić Bojović, emphasizing the importance of initiatives that position Podgorica as a reliable partner on the European path.
Among the awarded cities are the Montenegrin municipalities of Berane, Petnjica and Bijelo Polje, as well as numerous cities from Europe, including cities from Germany, Italy, and Turkey, which further confirms the significance of this recognition and the standards that Podgorica is achieving in the European context.
"The European Diploma represents an important step within the Council of Europe's award system, but also a strong and encouraging confirmation that the Capital is heading in the right direction. It further obliges us to continue to improve the quality of life of our citizens, strengthen international cooperation and build an open, modern and European Podgorica," concluded President Borovinić Bojović.
Borovinić Bojović, who is also the Head of the Delegation of Montenegro to the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, as well as a member of the European People's Party (EPP), through her engagement continuously contributes to the affirmation of European values and the strengthening of the international position of the Capital.
