He said that Montenegro had economic potential not only to survive, but to live well. “I know about many small states, and those smaller than Montenegro, which are economically vital and have high life standard, such as Luxembourg. Our condition is to build a new market system with efficient institutions and to build concept of open economy without any stipulations,” said Djukanovic in his interview, publicizes by the Montena-business agency.

We are also realizing the process of mass voucher privatisation this year. Besides, we have begun the process of privatisation of big national companies, such as Telekom, Tobacco Industry, Jugopetrol and all that through international tender. Till the end of the year we shall privatise more than 50% of the state capital,” states Djukanovic in his interview for the World Investment News.
