The Executive Director of Railway Transport of Montenegro, Dragana Lukšić, attended a farewell reception on 7th July to mark the end of Remon Zakaria's term as the head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) office in Montenegro.
The reception, held in Podgorica, gathered numerous representatives from the Government of Montenegro, the diplomatic corps, international financial institutions, the economy, and partner organisations, who collectively commemorated the conclusion of Mr Zakaria's term and welcomed his successor, Ekaterina Solovova, who will assume the role of head of the EBRD office in Montenegro from 1st September.
During Remon Zakaria's term, intensive cooperation was achieved between Railway Transport of Montenegro and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, particularly highlighted by the implementation of a project for the procurement of three new electric multiple units, valued at 30 million euros, which represents the largest investment in the renewal of the rolling stock of ŽPCG in the last few decades.
Railway Transport of Montenegro expresses its gratitude to Mr Zakaria for his dedication, professional approach, and support for projects that contribute to the development of sustainable railway transport in Montenegro, and wishes him much success in his further professional engagement in his new role as head of the EBRD office in Armenia.
At the same time, ŽPCG looks forward to continuing successful cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the new head of the EBRD office in Montenegro, Ekaterina Solovova, whose extensive international experience and results achieved during her leadership of the EBRD office in Albania provide a strong foundation for the continuation of joint development projects in the fields of transport and sustainable infrastructure.
Partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development represents one of the key pillars of the modernisation of Railway Transport of Montenegro, and joint projects confirm the commitment of both institutions to improving service quality, sustainable mobility, and the European future of Montenegrin railways.
