A renowned Chinese company, specializing in mineral resource exploitation, has recently expressed interest in acquiring the Berane coal mine in Montenegro. Nikola Šćekić, the director of the coal mine, confirmed that representatives from the Chinese company visited Berane, hinting at the possibility of a new owner for the “Petnjik” mine.
