11 “Strategy for the Information Society Development of Montenegro 2020” is a digital development strategy which, along with the ICT technologies in the key development areas, also deals with the problem of the lack of the ICT skills, which significantly slows down the multiplicative effects that the modern technologies have on productivity growth.

Nowadays, the telecommunication sector is experiencing structural changes and it is still struggling with the unconnected national markets, the lack of regulatory consistency and predictability in the EU, especially regarding the radio spectrum, as well as the lack of the sufficient investment, particularly in rural areas.
