My name is Petar Ivanovic and MIPA stands for the Montenegrin Investment Promotion Agency, which was set up 4 years ago in March 2005, and it serves basically as a platform for promoting foreign direct investment opportunities on behalf of the government of Montenegro.

Petar Ivanovic:
We can help in several ways. First of all we can provide information to US companies that are interested to invest abroad. Secondly, we can provide useful contacts not only in the public sector, but in the private sector as well. And thirdly we can organize a lot of visits and meetings and road shows where business people who are interested in investing in Montenegro can literally see how the system works, can meet the people, can see the country, and come to their own conclusions.
