The Railway Transport of Montenegro AD Podgorica has supported the children's camp and folklore festival MONTEKAMP 2026, providing free transport for participants on the route Sutomore–Podgorica–Sutomore, in connection with their performance as part of the Podgorica Cultural Summer event.
On Friday, 28th August, young folk dancers from Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Romania arrived in Podgorica by train, among whom were around 180 children aged 9 to 13 years. In traditional costumes, accompanied by songs, dances, and the sounds of traditional instruments, their train journey transformed into a special image of togetherness, camaraderie, and the preservation of cultural and traditional values.
Upon arriving in Podgorica, the participants performed at a concert in Karađorđe Park, held as part of the Podgorica Cultural Summer, after which the Railway Transport of Montenegro also ensured their return to Sutomore.
MONTEKAMP, organised by the Educational and Cultural Association "Luča" since 2020 in collaboration with the Municipality of Bar, is designed as a space for learning, socialising, and personal development for children and young people through traditional games and folklore. Since its inception, more than 5,000 children from across Europe have participated in the camp, making MONTEKAMP one of the most recognised youth folklore camps in the region.
As a token of gratitude for the support in implementing this year's programme, the organisers presented a certificate of appreciation to the Railway Transport of Montenegro, which was received on behalf of the Company by Jasmin Kanalić, Assistant Executive Director.
By supporting this event, the Railway Transport of Montenegro continues to nurture its socially responsible role and supports initiatives aimed at children and young people, cultural exchange, and the preservation of tradition. We are particularly pleased that the train journey was part of this festival story and contributed to ensuring that the meeting of young folk dancers from the region is remembered for the shared experience on the railway.
