Colliers Montenegro issued a press release stating that big names attended the official launch party for Colliers International in Montenegro, including the country's Deputy Prime Minister Vujica Lazovic, the Minister of Economic Development, Branimir Gvozdenovic, the American ambassador, Roderick Moore, and the Charge d’Affaires of the Delegation of the European Commission, Clive Rumbold. More than a hundred guests attended the reception at Hotel Podgorica.
Branimir Gvozdenovic, the Minister of Economic Development, welcoming the opening of the Colliers office, said a major international player establishing itself in Podgorica was a positive reflection on the state of Montenegro’s economy.

Philip Bay, Regional Director, Colliers Southeast Europe, stressed the beauty of the country was a vital resource that should be protected, and suggested that sustainable development offered the best future for both local communities and business interests.
