This is a reference to a general sort of scheme, of which there are a number of different varieties, including (for example) that to be developed under Article 25 of the Draft Energy Law. Renewables Within the context of discussions of Montenegro’s Draft Energy Law or future RESS, this refers to those producers eligible for preferential prices under the terms of Article 25 of the draft law (i.e., renewable energy sources (with hydro limited to that < 10 MW) and high efficiency cogeneration) Water Law “Law on Waters”, Official Gazette of the RoM № 27/07 State Property Law “Law on State Property”, Official Gazette of the RoM № 21/09 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Montenegro has a number of good opportunities for the development of domestic resources for electricity generation. In the Government’s Energy Strategy and Action Plan, it has set out a programme for development that encompasses a range of projects from large-scale hydro and thermal projects to smaller scale renewable energy projects. This programme calls for significant participation by the private sector in generation investment over the coming decade and beyond. The programme is intended to meet a number of objectives, important among which are included meeting international obligations regarding renewable energy utilisation and reducing the reliance of the country on relatively high cost imported power. Implementing this programme and developing Montenegro’s resources will require an appropriate Legal, Institutional and Regulatory (LIR) framework. In this regard, significant progress has already been made. An independent regulatory authority was established in 2004 and various relevant laws (including an Energy Law promulgated in 2003 which is now being updated, as well as a new Concessions Law promulgated in 2009, among others) have been put in place. In terms of the industry itself, change has also begun. The former vertically integrated monopoly utility company (Elektroprivreda Crne Gore, or EPCG) has had the transmission network and system and market operator functions unbundled, and a new strategic investor has been selected to take a significant stake in the remaining generation / distribution / supply company. One tender round has already been completed for small hydro project development (with several concessions awarded and project developers currently engaged in the planning and permitting process) and another tender round is in progress. However, significant work remains to be completed if all the objectives of bringing private sector investment in generation projects are to be met. This work includes updating the existing

    RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICS “Thirty years after breakup of the SFRY: modern problems of relations between the republics of the former Yugoslavia” 15th independence anniversary of Montenegro: achievements and challenges Prof. dr Gordana Djurovic University of Monenegro 21 May 2021 1 An overview: from Doclea to the Kingdom of Montenegro (1) • During the Roman Empire, the territory of Montenegro was actually the territory of Duklja (DOCLEA). Doclea was originally the name of the Roman city on the site of modern Podgorica (Ribnica), built by Roman Emperor Diocletian, who hailed from this region of Roman Dalmatia. • With the arrival of the Slovenes in the 7th century, Christianity quickly gained primacy in this region. • Doclea (Duklja) gradually became a Principality (Knezevina - Arhontija) in the second part of the IX century. • The first known prince (knez-arhont) was Petar (971-990), (or Petrislav, according to Kingdom of Doclea by 1100, The Chronicle of the Priest of Dioclea or Duklja , Ljetopis popa Dukljanina, XIII century). In 1884 a during the rule of King Constantine Bodin lead stamp was found, on which was engraved in Greek "Petar prince of Doclea"; In that period, Doclea (Duklja) was a principality (Byzantine vassal), and Petar was a christianized Slav prince (before the beginning of the Slavic mission of Cirilo and Metodije in the second part of the IX century (V.Nikcevic, Crnogorski jezik, 1993). • VOJISLAVLJEVIĆ DYNASTY (971-1186) - The first ruler of the Duklja state was Duke Vladimir (990 – 1016.). His successor was duke Vojislav (1018-1043), who is considered the founder of Vojislavljević dynasty, the first Montenegrin dynasty.
