Tthe final day of the Conference was filled with interesting events

The final working day of the conference brought a dynamic blend of scientific sessions and strategic discussions on regional cooperation. The morning was dedicated to parallel sessions (Sessions 9–12), featuring paper presentations and discussions with the authors—two sessions held on-site in conference halls and two in a virtual format.

In the second part of the day, the focus shifted to EuroCC2/EuroCC4SEE and a topic dedicated to regional cooperation and shared experiences (“What Have We Learned and Where Do We Go Next?”), with the participation of National Competence Centers (NCCs) from several countries in the region. The program was further enriched by a session of the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro titled “Tradition and Innovation in the Service of the Montenegrin Economy.”

The afternoon was reserved for a closed EuroCC2 SEE session and B2B meetings, during which initiatives and next steps for cooperation among NCC teams were agreed.

The conference concluded in a traditional way — with participants socializing with music, dancing, and singing late into the night. The band "Pljevaljski tamburaši" created an excellent atmosphere, while the culinary offerings at Hotel Aleksandar further enhanced the participants' enjoyment.

Three Decades of Continuity – Ceremonial Academy Held on the Occasion of the 30th Jubilee International Conference on Information Technologies

The Ceremonial Academy was opened by the President of the Conference Organizing Committee, Prof. Dr. Božo Krstajić of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Montenegro. Prof. Krstajić thanked the Conference Organizing Committee and all participants who have continuously provided support, and noted that the conference represents a blend of the metaphysical spirit of Durmitor and the constant changes in IT—changes that the participants have transformed into lasting values. Prof. Dr. Novak Jauković, one of the founders of the Conference, noted that it embodies nurturing regional potential and a vision of continuously elevating and preserving knowledge.

The Minister of Education, Science and Innovation, Prof. Dr. Anđela Jakšić Stojanović, said that despite dynamic changes in the technology sector, the Conference has built continuity as the most reliable indicator of quality, emphasizing the special responsibility of the academic community in preserving and developing a knowledge-based society.

The President of the Board of the University of Montenegro, Milivoje Radović, highlighted that three decades of the conference’s existence confirm its success, quality, importance, and continuity.

The Vice-Rector of the University of Donja Gorica, Prof. Dr. Milica Vukotić, emphasized that conferences endure not because of programs, but because of people who believe in the continuity of knowledge. She noted that multiple generations of students have passed through this conference and today shape the region’s IT sector, and that this jubilee celebrates a culture of cooperation and trust as a key development resource.

At the Ceremonial Academy, certificates of appreciation were awarded on the occasion of the jubilee to the founders of the conference—Prof. Dr. Srđan Stanković, Prof. Dr. Novak Jauković, Prof. Dr. Milovan Radulović, and Mr. Dragan Perović—as well as to institutions that continuously support the organization: the University of Montenegro, the University of Donja Gorica, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (University of Montenegro), the Faculty of Organizational Sciences (University of Belgrade), the IEEE Serbia and Montenegro Section, the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, and the company ČIKOM d.o.o. IT Engineering.

After the ceremonial part and the presentation of awards, a panel discussion titled “Information Technologies – Past, Present and Future” was held, where participants spoke about the development of the conference, the development of the IT sector, the evolution and understanding of artificial intelligence, and the importance of regional and international cooperation. The panelists were Prof. Dr. Novak Jauković, Prof. Dr. Srđan Stanković, Prof. Dr. Milica Pejanović Đurišić, and Mr. Milutin Pavićević.
