As part of the APOLLO project, a roundtable was held in Podgorica on April 17, 2026, bringing together experts from the fields of energy, energy efficiency, sustainable development and related sectors.
The discussion covered key aspects of the energy transition in the region, including the harmonization of legislation with EU directives, the development of a regulatory framework for energy communities, and challenges in the implementation of renewable energy projects. Special emphasis was placed on practical experiences in the implementation of photovoltaic systems on public buildings, as well as on the technical, financial and operational aspects of their application.
Participants also discussed the role of local and regional authorities in the implementation of energy projects, the importance of reliable data on energy consumption, and the possibilities of active involvement of citizens and the private sector in the development of energy communities. In addition, issues of long-term sustainability of investments, financing models after the end of EU support, and the possibility of transferring and applying good practices in other environments were highlighted.
The round table served as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience and further strengthened interregional cooperation between Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Panelists at the round table were: Nikola Vujošević (Ministry of Energy and Mining, Montenegro), Vladan Šaranović (Liming Projekt d.o.o., Montenegro), Biljana Krivokapić and Igor Mamula (SECAP working group), Marino Marić (Nimbus Center of Green Energy), Marija Kljajić (Commonwealth of Municipalities of Montenegro) and Darko Knezović (City Administration of Mostar).
