VISIT OF THE CHINESE DELEGATION TO THE
MONTENEGRIN FUND FOR SOLIDARITY HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT
At the suggestion of Lei Yufeng,
Commissioner of the China Development
Bank for Serbia and Region (CDB) and the
invitation of the Montenegrin Fund for
Solidarity Housing Development, the
Chinese Delegation has paid a three-day
visit to the CFSSI.
The Chinese Delegation consisted of the
above-mentioned Commissioner of CDB and
the Vice General Manager of the China
Chongqing International Corp. for
Economic and Trade Cooperation (CICET)
Tian Juan and her associates.
The reason behind this visit was the
wish and the interest of the Chinese
party to assess the opportunity for
entering the Montenegrin market through
cooperation with the CFSSI, i.e.
investment in some of the CFSSI’s major
future projects. At the meetings
organized over the course of this visit,
the emphasis was put on the potential
cooperation on the development projects
Eco complex “Kavac” in Kotor and
Eco-city located in Bandici in the
Municipality of Danilovgrad.
In this regard, on Wednesday, 19
September 2012, the Chinese Delegation,
along with the representatives of the
CFSSI headed by Danilo Popovic, Chairman
of the Board, as well as representatives
of the Government and the Employers
Federation, has visited the Municipality
of Kotor. At the meeting held with the
Mayor of Kotor Mrs. Catovic and her
associates, cooperation on the
implementation of project “Kavac” has
been discussed. Apart from 1500 housing
units, this project of utmost importance
for the Municipality and its employees
will include all the additional
facilities, which will altogether
constitute urban and functional unit.
The next day, i.e. on Thursday, 20
September 2012, a meeting in the
Municipality of Danilovgrad was
organized, on which occasion the Mayor
of Danilovgrad Branislav Djuranovic with
his associates has acquainted the
Chinese Delegation as well as
representatives of the CFSSI and the
Government with the investment
environment in this Municipality. The
Mayor has stressed the importance of
drafting the new Spatial Planning
Scheme, which will help create the
preconditions for the beginning of the
implementation of such an important
project in the near future.
According to the CFSSI’s Chairman of the
Board Danilo Popovic, this project
envisages the accommodation of all
categories of population which had not
been able to resolve their housing
issues previously as well as mixing of
social groups within it. Future complex,
i.e. Eco-city will have optimal
conditions for human living by world
standards, crating thus numerous job
opportunities. Moreover, the project
will be developed by highest ecological
standards, with maximum usage of
renewable sources of energy, which will
bring benefit to future tenants in terms
of reducing costs of living and
improving the quality of life.
Representatives of CICET have shown
their interest and willingness to start
the cooperation with the CFSSI both on
the above mentioned housing projects and
the reestablishment of manufacture in
Montenegro as well as the import of some
high-quality building materials from
China. Through the Cooperation Protocol,
which is its preparation phase, two
parties will formally express their
readiness to cooperate in future. The
China Development Bank has given its
full support both to the projects and
the cooperation between CFSSI and CICET,
expressing its wish to be involved in
these projects in terms of providing
financing.
Wholehearted support of the Government
of Montenegro, which, through the
Intergovernmental Commission on the
Economic and Trade Cooperation between
China and Montenegro, strengthens the
cooperation of these two countries,
additionally speaks in favor of the
certain start of both the projects’
implementation and the future
cooperation of Chinese and Montenegrin
partners

(CFSSI) – Mr. Boris Mihailovic,
Executive Director attended the

Housing named „Partnership for Social

March 2012
China Development Bank’s delegation, led
by Lei Yueng, Director for Serbia and
Montenegro has visited the Montenegrin
Fund for Solidarity Housing Development,
on which occasion Danilo Popovic,
President of the Fund’s Board of
Directors with his associates presented
them the role of the Fund in Montenegro,
as well as carried out and planned
projects.
Representatives of the China Development
Bank said that this financial
institution is ready to be Fund’s
partner in the field of solidarity
housing development and that they will
consider all the opportunities for
cooperation.
While presenting their institution, the
guests emphasized that China Development
Bank ranks first with regard to
financing of development projects in
China, Eurasian continent and the world.
It disposes of 63 billion Yuan of
capital and up to this year invested 210
billion USD in development projects all
over the world. The Bank is mainly
involved in the implementation of
infrastructure and energy industry
projects, with special emphasis on
renewable sources of energy. It also
deals with commercial affairs, carefully
choosing partners with whom it initiates
the implementation of development
projects.
The guests positively assessed the idea
of CFSSI to connect domestic contractors
with related companies from China. They
consider very important to connect
Chinese manufacturers of high-quality
building materials with Montenegrin,
since products of low quality appear on
the local market, which is why an image
of low standards of Chinese industry is
being created.
They assessed the presented projects as
very interesting and indicated that the
support of the Government would be
significant for the involvement of China
Development Bank in them, since the
Government presents the third equal
co-owner of the Fund besides the Trade
Union and the Employers Federation.
Danilo Popovic, President of the Board
of Directors informed the guests that
the Fund has developed more than 1000
apartments in all Montenegrin
Municipalities since its establishment;
moreover, it initiates the construction
of three buildings with 270 apartments
in Bar and a building in Budva and plans
to develop ecological estates in the
coast and inland, as well as a
residential complex on the location
between Podgorica and Danilovgrad. This
complex would consist of three units.
The first two would include different
classes of apartments, from lower to
higher class in relation to market
prices and the third unit would
represent so called “diplomatic estate”,
intended for the most demanding buyers.
The entire complex would have all the
ancillary services and facilities,
starting from parking lots to schools,
kindergartens, tertiary industry,
business centers and pools.
He explained that all the apartments are
being built under the highest European
standards, adjusted to the climate and
environment in which they are located,
with special emphasis on the energy
efficiency. Furthermore, he pointed out
that these apartments are being sold at
prices 40 to 50 percents lower than
those of market, since the resolution of
housing issue for as many Montenegrin
citizens is the objective of the Fund’s
founders.
China Development Bank and the Fund both
basically confirmed their readiness to
start the cooperation and agreed to
submit the projects with detailed
information to the competent
authorities. China Development Bank has
not been present in Montenegro up to
date. |

overall energy efficient products and
methods in the construction industry is

Fund, in cooperation with local
governments, has carried out so far the
construction of 1000 housing units in
almost all municipalities in Montenegro
and announced that almost the same
number of units is scheduled for
construction by the end of the year.
“These results prove the justifiability
of the partnership of Government, Trade
Union and Employers Federation”- Prime
Minister Luksic said. In this context,
he pointed out the further need to
address one of the fundamental and
existential issues both for the
employees in public administration and
private sector. Prime Minister Luksic
said that special attention should be
given to providing housing facilities
for pensioners, having regards to their
inability to borrow on commercial
lending criteria.
What is assessed as very important is
the fact that buildings will be
constructed in accordance with
