Free internet access in public spaces is now available to both residents and visitors of Pljevlja and Kolašin as part of the WiFi4WB initiative, funded by the European Union and the Government of Germany and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) through the EU4Digital project. The telecoms operator providing the network and digital services under the initiative is One, which has implemented open WiFi in 13 municipalities across Montenegro.
The introduction of a free public WiFi network in the centre of Pljevlja has made it easier and safer for residents and visitors to access the internet in the city’s busiest public spaces. The Municipality of Pljevlja highlights that the initiative is a concrete example of how modern digital solutions can improve the daily lives of local communities, while also contributing to a better visitor experience and the development of the city’s tourism offer.
Following Pljevlja, Kolašin has also joined the WiFi4WB initiative, with free internet access now available on IV Proleterske Brigade Street, known as Siberian Street, one of the busiest locations in the town centre.
The introduction of open internet access through the WiFi4WB initiative once again demonstrates the strong support from the European Union and Germany for the region’s digital transformation.
The project not only improves the daily lives of citizens, but also brings local communities closer to European standards of digital accessibility and connectivity. WiFi4WB continues to expand its network of connected local communities, with the aim of making open internet access available in a total of 24 municipalities across Montenegro.
