Symposium participants and guests were greeted by prof. Dr. Mica Jovanovic, Rector of Megatrend University who said, among other things:
“This is a great gathering of people from the region, and I am particularly pleased that they came interested in this topic from Bulgaria, Montenegro and the region, and I hope that there will be many more symposia on natural resources here. When it comes to natural resources, in my opinion, human resources are the most important natural resources. The human mind alone has no limit, and it is the only natural, limitless, ever-evolving and sustainable resource. ”
Professor Jovanovic pointed out that there is not much consideration for natural resources.
“When we talk about them, we also need to talk about ecology, which needs to be brought into the consciousness of our people, and to try and preserve and improve those resources that seem unsustainable to us at first glance.”
