The Ministry of European Affairs of Montenegro celebrated the European Cooperation Day this year in Berane. A delegation from the Ministry, in collaboration with the Municipality of Berane and the EU Delegation to Montenegro, visited a number of successful projects, including the CO-CLEAN project.

The celebration, held on 14th October 2022, ended with a free concert by the KIC pop choir at the Berane Cultural Center, which performed pop, rock and traditional folk songs from Montenegro and the whole of Europe. The KIC pop choir is the first pop choir in Montenegro, made up of several volunteers and true music lovers. The choir has performed in more than 100 concerts throughout Montenegro and the region.

The concert, featuring hits from famous local and regional artists, celebrated the achievements of the CO-CLEAN project, which led to the renovation and improvement of the Berane Cultural Center's heating system. This will allow the Center to operate even in the cold winter months.

European Cooperation Day is the annual celebration of territorial cooperation in Europe and its achievements. Montenegro takes part in nine European territorial and cross-border cooperation programmes, with Montenegrin institutions and organizations implementing a number of EU-funded projects together with partners with the aim of improving citizen's quality of life.
