Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 2, 2014, the University of Montenegro (Univerzitet Crne Gore) and the Office of Chinese Council International (Hanban) signed an Agreement on the Establishment of a Confucius Institute. Then, the Institute held its opening ceremony on February 13, 2015. President of Montenegro Filip Vujanović attended the opening ceremony. The Confucius Institute was jointly established by Hanban, the Confucius Institute Headquarters, and Montenegro's only state-run university, the University of Montenegro. Changsha University of Science and Technology was the designated Chinese partner of the new Confucius Institute. The Confucius Institute was expected to serve as a platform for Montenegrin students to learn the Chinese language and Chinese culture, hopefully improving relations between the two countries.
