Secretariat for Culture and Sports prepared a rich sports program and humanitarian actions on the occasion of December 19

Secretariat for Culture and Sports of the Capital has prepared a rich sports program in anticipation of the celebration of the Liberation Day of Podgorica - December 19.

Assistant Secretary for Culture and Sports Milos Antic emphasized that this year's edition of sports events on the eve of December 19 will be somewhat different because it is conditioned by the current epidemiological situation, but that it will have an emphasized humanitarian character.

"December is the month of our city, and sport being a trademark of Podgorica is why we decided to celebrate the birthday through various sports activities. As part of the celebration of the Liberation Day of Podgorica, the Secretariat for Culture and Sports in cooperation with clubs will organize a large number of sports events in the next few days, of course, with maximum respect to the current measures", Antić said, adding that he will support the program of Special Olympics this year as well.
