Privredna komora Crne Gore / Chamber of Economy of Montenegro

What Privredna komora Crne Gore / Chamber of Economy of Montenegro does

Privredna komora Crne Gore (Chamber of Economy of Montenegro), founded in 1928 and headquartered in its 1939 historic building in Podgorica, is the statutory national chamber of commerce for Montenegro, established under the 1998 Law on Chamber of Economy. It operates as an independent, public, non-profit business and interest organization, with mandatory automatic membership for every business entity, bank, insurance company, and entrepreneur registered in the Central Register of Business Entities (CRPS), plus optional NGO and association members. Its core revenue stream is compulsory membership fees, supplemented by education, arbitration, certification, and event services.

The Chamber's product and service portfolio centers on the e-Komora digital services portal (digital certificate-authenticated access for barrier reporting, proposals, arbitration, and mediation) and a suite of interactive tools: a Business Readiness assessment, an Interactive Business Zone Map, business networking, grant discovery, member suggestion submission, and a business barrier reporting tool. Beyond digital services, the Chamber provides formal and non-formal business education (recent seminars covering AI in business, NIS2, information security, ISO standards, and protocol), economic research and publications (macroeconomic reports, country profiles, the PKCG Herald), the annual PKCG Award program running since 1969, an Arbitration Court and Honor Court for dispute resolution, and organization of trade fair visits and bilateral business forums.

The Chamber operates 13 sector association committees covering banking, energy, ICT, construction, utilities, forestry, metallurgy, transport, freight, agriculture, trade, tourism, and SMEs, and is a member of seven international chamber networks (Eurochambres, ICC-WCF, WB6CIF, ABC, Forum AIC, ASCAME, IRU). Notable member enterprises include Elektroprivreda Crne Gore, Crnogorski Telekom, Mtel, Telemach, Addiko Bank, Erste Bank, NLB Banka, CKB, Lovćen Banka, Voli Trade, Porto Montenegro, and 13 Jul - Plantaže. Led by President Dr Nina Drakić (re-elected September 2025) with three Vice Presidents and a General Secretary, the organization has 18 employees.

Core offering

Privredna komora Crne Gore is a public institution and chamber of commerce providing business representation, advocacy, legal support, and dispute resolution services to all Montenegrin business entities with compulsory membership. The Chamber delivers an integrated business support ecosystem including a digital services portal (e-Komora), interactive assessment and search tools, educational seminars, economic publications, an arbitration court and honor court, international cooperation through chamber networks, and an annual PKCG awards program.

Product overview

The Chamber offers a unified digital services ecosystem centered on the e-Komora portal complemented by several specialized interactive tools: the Business Readiness Tool for entrepreneurial assessment, an Interactive Map of Business Zones for investment location discovery, Business Networking for company connections, grant discovery, business barrier reporting, and member suggestion submission. Beyond digital services, the Chamber provides educational seminars, publishes economic research and reports, manages an annual business award program, offers arbitration and honor court dispute resolution services, and organizes trade fair visits and business forums.

• Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB): Turkey's national chamber structure combines compulsory membership, sectoral associations, arbitration, and extensive international networking - a model PKCG has actively engaged with through trade fair visits and bilateral forums.
