During its 114th session on March 15, 2024, the government of Montenegro, led by Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, made significant personnel changes across various governmental departments. This restructuring aims to enhance the functionality and oversight of key sectors, particularly in food safety, project implementation, and human resources.
The government issued several resolutions, including the termination of the acting positions held by Milan Rogošić, Biljana Blečić, and Zorka Prljević within the Administration for Food Safety, Veterinary, and Phytosanitary Affairs. Following this, Zorka Prljević was appointed as the acting deputy director of the same department.
In another notable appointment, Luka Mugoša will take on the role of acting general director of the Directorate for the Implementation of EU Pre-Accession Assistance Projects. This department is responsible for quality control and contract realization within the Ministry of Public Works.
The government also announced the dismissal of Maja Vukićević from the Privatization and Capital Projects Council, along with two members of the Coordination Body for Inspection Oversight, Vesna Brajović and Dina Tutundžić. Dina Tutundžić has since been reappointed as a member of the Coordination Body.
Additionally, the mandate of Demir Drešević, advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister for International Relations, has been terminated. Dragana Vratnica has been assigned as the acting general director of the Human Resources Directorate within the Ministry of Defence.
The government also composed the Board of Directors for the limited liability company “CRNA GORA ŠUME,” which now includes Igor Vojinović, Saša Bjeković, Slaviša Lučić, Ilija Krejović, and Petar Knežević.
Lastly, Ivan Lalić has been appointed as the acting director of the Water Administration. This series of appointments and dismissals reflects the government’s ongoing efforts to streamline its operations and ensure effective governance across various sectors in Montenegro.
These changes signal a proactive approach by the Montenegro government to address its administrative challenges and improve the efficiency of its public services.
