From 1995 to the end of 2006, the Development Fund of Montenegro financed 642 investment projects with the estimated value of EUR 180.15 million, where the share of Development Fund of Montenegro was EUR 36.03 million. Realizing these investment programmes, the precondition for employment of cca 7,452 persons was created.
