  • A system for radioactive waste management in Montenegro.
  • A description of the control of level of radioactive contamination of goods and objects in imports and exports.
  • The experience CETI has in the field of decontamination of the environment with emphasis on experience in decontamination of depleted uranium.
  • Exposure controls of persons working in the ionizing radiation zones in Montenegro – personal dosimetry control.
  • Quality control in the field of application of ionizing radiation in medicine and non-medical applications.

Our experience has been highly valued by our Albanian colleagues and a common conclusion was that the visit was very successful and that both sides hope that this was only the beginning of a successful and mutually beneficial cooperation.

Both sides expressed their interest for continuation of cooperation, especially because of many topics that are interesting for both sides.
