Provided financial means for preparation and participation of our
athletes at the Olympic games in Beijing. Means provided by the
goverment of Montenegro, sponsors and the IOC
Solid foundation for good preparations
Next summer, for the first time in history, Montenegrin flag will
flutter on the Olympic masts, and during the parade among 205
participating countries, there will be around 20 athletes from our
country.
Water polo players already cleared their way to Beijing, Olympic
visas are provided for swimmer Marina Kuč, on battlefield will
probably be one or two our athletes, judists, and maybe some other
sportsman. In order to have more solid preparations and provide
means for departure to the biggest sport event, it took enormous
engagement of the Montenegrin Olympic Committee’s management. Yet,
eight months before the beginning of the Olympic Games in Beijing,
first man of the MOC, Dušan Simonović is optimist.
- Part of means we have already started to spend on preparation of
our selections - says Simonović in conversation for MINA agency. –
Maoney is payed to associations who have their representatives and
prepare their competitors for Beijing, and also to those who need to
compete for Olympic norms. With help from friendly Olympic
Committees, the International Olympic Committee, and support from
the State and significant Montenegrin companies we have created very
good basis for solid preparation of our athletes for participation
at the Olympic Games. To be more precise, we have received from the
IOC 100 thousand for water polo selection, nine scholarships for our
Olympic candidates, and some specific means for help in work to the
Montenegrin Olympic Committee. We have also received means from the
budget, and we also have signed contracts for general and golden
sponsorship with First bank of Montenegro and Montenegrin Telecom.
However, that’s not all. Montenegrin Olympic Committee is planning
to close partner contract with Tourist organisation of Montenegro
and several companies who are brands of our country and who will
present themselves in this way in Beijing. Olympic Games are not
only gathering of athletes, but businessmen, as well, tourist
workers, etc, and this is ideal opportunity to present all beauties
of our country in toursist sense.
From is budget, Government has appointed 450 thousand Euros and it
is quite enough. In case it wouldn’t be enough, I am quite sure that
the State would rush to help once again, as many times so far –
continues the first man of the MOC – we have to try for ourselves to
collect at least the same ammount.
For this year for sport, the State has appointed more than 4 million
Euros, whis is very respectable. But I believe that through other
types of support will be distributed at least the same ammount of
money. Namely, part will be given by the Municipality, one part will
be collected through sponsor contracts, so we are very close to
satisfying all needs of sport in Montenegro.
It is expected that in Beijing will participate around 20
Montenegrin athletes. According to Simonović, it is satisfactory
number of competitors, reminding that water polo players and swimmer
Marina Kuč have already verified visas, and it is expectd that
probably one male athlete one female athlete and one wrestler will
do the same, while close to the placement is judist Srđan
Mrvaljević.
- Number of 20 athletes in Montenegrinexpedition is very good for
State which has 650 thousand ihnabitants, explains Dušan Simonović.
– There are 205 countries within the IOC, out of which 1010 will
have less than ten competitors in Beijing. If Montenegro is on top
of the other half, than it is clear how big success it is and what
is the position of our country in the International Olympic
Committee.
Speaking of the adopted Law on lifetime compensation for top
athletes and winners of medals on most important international
competitions, Simonović says:
- We have really tried in the MOC, but we couldn’t achieve it by
ourselves. There was lots of understanding from the Ministry of
Sport, Culture and Media, as well from the State, so we are
extremely satisfied with the solutions included in the Law on Sport.
We have made several good things which some of the bigger Olympic
Committees with longer tradition didn’t manage to do. Beside pension
for top athletes, we decided for scholarships for young athletes. At
the end of January will start payment of scholarships for 50 most
perspective athletes, and we have also provided nine scholarships
for Olympic candidates which MOC will start to pay during this month
and their ammount is 900 US dollars, while compensation for young
athletes will receive 100 US dollars per month.
Rational spending
Public allocation of means obliges associations to seriousness in
spending of granted means and I believe that by this allocation we
can all be satisfied – said Simonović. – I am sure that in next
period there will be more of those means, following the development
of our sport. There is lot of potential for its growth and
development, so it is quite normal to expect more means.
New buildings
It already turned out that Montenegro has good, quality
and perspective athletes, but we lack sport buildings, even though
in last ten years lots of them were built.
For sure we’ll make the pool in Herceg-Novi, and ther were some
promises that similar will be made in Nikšić, Bijelo Polje and
Podgorica - stressed Dušan Simonović. – Besides that, it was
announced that Football Association with the means from UEFA, around
four million will participate in building of football fields in
Montenegro. I am sure that the State will find some possibility to
participate in it, as well as local communities. We planned to build
facilities for athletes, tennis players and gymnasts. We have to
find way to get quality buildings and avoid situation visible on
Montenegrin football fields this autumn.
