Welcome address by vicepresident of the Government of Montenegro at the opening of the SEFICT and Congress JISA:
...INFORMATION, IDEAS and INTELLIGENCE which make part of an information society should be the leading edge in making modern information environment. Maxim: It’s not the big that eat the small… it’s the FAST that eat the slow should start all ideas if we want to follow trends and to reach the level of high- developed countries.
 In Montenegro, today all schools have internet connection. In all educational programes there is information education. The future and the development of Montenegro are in young people, so we have to offer them many chances to adopt this knowledge. At the same time, the Government of Montenegro undertakes all necessery activities to establish e-governemnt. We are happy that manifestations like yours contribuite to our efforts. ICT don’t influence just education, but also economic growth and development of a country. Just good will is needed and willingnes to accept changes, and I am sure that we started with bringing it into practice. Once again, let me wish you a succesful conference and a pleasant stay in Herceg Novi.
Best Regards,

First priority - education in ICT
 European plan FP7 for the next four years (2007-2011) gives a special priority to computer literacy and demands ten times bigger investments. This influenced themes at Congress JISA and SEFICT, so papers about positive practice, improvement of IT teaching activities, teaching people with disabilities, and ECDL realization in industry. Slovenian schools had 17 presentations and they showed great interest in those themes. Of course, educational institutions from Serbia and Montenegro attracted attention with their presentations about distance learning and ECDL standard.
It has to be emphasized Technical Faculty Zrenjanin, Faculty for banking and finance Belgrade, The College for ICT, The College of railway transportation, and EBC – an ECDL internet testing center. Presentations from Montenegro were interesting, and Sanja Vujovic from Bar Explorer ECDL testing center said that in Montenegro ECDL certificate is wrote in employment record card as national accepted certificate, just like in Italy, Hungary and other countries.
