Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem (CGES)continues to invest in the community—this time by supporting education. With a donation of 15,000 €, CGES will help reconstruct Šćepan Đukić Elementary School, significantly improving conditions for students and teaching staff.

Ivan Asanović, CGES CEO emphasized that the company recognized the importance of education for the development of every society, especially in smaller communities, "where the school is not just a place of learning but the heart of the entire area."

"Our company believes that investing in education is investing in the future. The children sitting in the classrooms today will drive development, innovation, and progress tomorrow. We wish to provide them with the best possible conditions for learning and growing up because every child deserves a safe, modern, and inspiring school environment," said Asanović after handing over the donation.

He said that he believed that a successful society was one in which companies, institutions, and citizens work together for the betterment of all.

"Our company is proud to be part of this project. I wish the students much success in their further education, hoping that this renovation will bring new energy and motivation to everyone and that this community will continue to build a prosperous future," Asanović stated.

The principal of Šćepan Đukić Elementary School, Vesna Vuksanović, said that the donation from CGES donation was a substantial contribution to the institution.

"We could not have dreamed of such a generous amount. It means a lot to us—not only because it will improve school conditions but also because it has inspired other donors to support us, bringing us joy and hope for better conditions for our students," Vuksanović said.

As she announced, the donation would be used for the reconstruction of the physical education hall, the replacement of carpentry, and other necessary works that would enhance conditions at the school.

"We want the work to start as soon as possible, and we hope that in a year, we will gather here again with pride to show you what we have achieved thanks to your donation," Vuksanović said.
