Cetinje: First International prosciutto fair in June

Cetinje will be a host of the first International Prosciutto Fair, which will be organized in Cetinje from 5 to 6 June 2020, under the auspices of the Tourist Organization of Cetinje and Montenegrin prosciutto cluster.

Mayor of Cetinje Mr Aleksandar Kašćelan, said that Old Royal Capital produces around 300 thousand kg of prosciutto on an annual level and is very famous for its exquisite meat products even beyond Montenegro’s borders.

The Mayor od Old Royal Capital said that Cetinje deserves to have a prosciutto fair because this product is a huge potential for the development of Cetinje not only in economic and tourism terms.
“We want that people from Cetinje show their skills and experience in a direct way”, said Mr Kašćelan.

“The fair will promote home-made products. We think it is our duty. We do this for our families, our producers and our country”, said Mr Kašćelan.

State secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Đuro Žugić, believes that the fair will contribute to the promotion of high-quality and authentic products from Montenegro, whose speciality has been recognized and protected in accordance with the law.

In December 2018, Montenegrin prosciutto was protected with geographical indications..

Žugić thinks that fair will be a great opportunity for the promotion of sustainable agriculture in Montenegro and rural development, favouring products that have many-decade long reputation.

Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro, Ms Ljiljana Filipović, said that promotion of such products contributes to the recognition of the regions they come from, has positive impact on the revenue of agriculture households and encourages agricultural producers to associate and organize market performance.

President of the Montenegrin prosciutto cluster, Mr Jovan Kaluđerović, announced that the first quantities of certified prosciutto could found their place on the market in February.

Mr Kaluđerović reminded that members of the cluster had been taking part in the renowned fairs and prosciutto festivals in the European countries and countries in the region, and were awarded for their products.
