Tamás Kamarási, President of the Board of Directors of the Montenegrin Foreign Investors Council (MFIC), participated in the regional conference “Enhancing Legal Certainty for Investment Attraction and Development”, organized by the AIRE Centre for the Western Balkans. The event brought together representatives of institutions, international organizations, and the business community.
Speaking on the panel “The Role of Arbitration in Attracting Foreign Investments to Montenegro”, alongside Minister of Justice Bojan Božović and Minister of Finance Novica Vuković, Kamarási emphasized that foreign investors are not asking for privileged treatment, but rather a legal framework that ensures timely dispute resolution and consistent enforcement of contractual obligations.
“This is not only important for investors, but also for the entire business community and the country’s long-term economic growth. MFIC member companies have shown their commitment to Montenegro for many years by continuously investing and staying present. But potential alone is not enough – it must be supported systematically, first and foremost through a reliable and functional legal framework. Otherwise, countries with perhaps fewer natural advantages but greater legal predictability will gain the upper hand,” Kamarási stated.
He added that Montenegro has a unique opportunity to seize the moment and make real progress, stressing that foreign investors are ready to actively cooperate with decision-makers and the business community in that process.
As the only business association in Montenegro composed exclusively of foreign companies – which generate over 23% of the country’s GDP and employ around 6,000 people – the Montenegrin Foreign Investors Council reiterated its commitment to being a reliable partner in strengthening the business environment and supporting the country’s sustainable economic development.
