While in the country, she will meet Montenegro’s representatives and partners to discuss and expand UNDP’s partnership with the country in key areas such as support to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), EU accession and the country’s on-going socio-economic reforms.
UNDP’s Regional Director will discuss topics related to the national development priorities, from transition to the green economy and COP26 follow-up, and from digital transformation to public administration reform.
