5th of June as the World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. The theme of this year’s jubilee is "YOUR PLANET NEEDS YOU – UNITED IN FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGES“.
During the previous two centuries, through development of industry and modern technology, humans made the greatest impact on impairment of the environment. Its protection implies all the actions taken with the aim to prevent the causes of degradation, pollution or destruction of the environment and excessive consumption of natural resources and space.
Global warming is probably one of the biggest global problems of the 21st century. Scientists ascertained that human factor, i.e. the manner in which we treat ourselves and the nature on daily basis, contributes to creation of this problem with 90%.
Promonte pays special attention to responsible conduct of business and has great ambitions in the area of environment protection as well as activities related to decrease of global warming. As a provider of communication services, Promonte does not belong to the group of heavy polluters; nevertheless, we wish to decrease emissions of carbon-dioxide (CO2) within our activities, through increase of energy efficiency of our network installations and business buildings. Also, we want to influence relevant subjects in a way that they put a special emphasis on this issue. Moreover, it is important to serve as a good example in the community, to be followed by people, and to clearly show that efficient usage of telecommunication services will save energy and reduce pollution.
The Study on Energy Efficiency of the Building, planting of the park in Block VI in Podgorica, the planned positioning of base stations with alternative sources of power supply, an internal campaign among the employees, are just some of the steps taken by the Promonte company.
Each of us, as an individual, can contribute to mitigation of this problem by his/her responsible everyday behavior. If you haven’t being doing it already, start caring for yourself and your environment as of today by doing little things, because it still isn’t too late!
Useful advices:
Plant a tree; Avoid using the substances that deplete the ozone layer; Use energy saving light bulbs; Avoid using plastic bags; Use lesser quantities of hot water; Purchase rechargeable batteries; Plug the devices that are not used at the time out of the mains; Check the pressure in your vehicle’s tyres on regular basis, since if the pressure is lower than the prescribed one by only 40kPa, the fuel consumption will be increased by about 3%; Aggressive driving is not worthwhile, because fast motion and sudden braking will save only about 4% of your time; Use the automobiles as little as possible, because walking or riding a bicycle is much healthier, cheaper and environmentally friendlier; Dish washing machine consumes less energy than manual washing up with hot water from the home’s water heater; Do not use water from a through-flow water heater, since it consumes much more energy than an ordinary water heater; Plant trees as a shield from overheating or cold winds; clamber plants are cooling the house in summer and heating it in winter; One bathing consumes as much hot water as three showering; Devices with the energy star mark consume even 10 times less energy than those who do not have this mark; Turn off the light in auxiliary premises, use one light bulb of high power instead several weaker bulbs, since a cluster of light bulbs consumes 50% more electric power; use photo cells for external illumination, which turn on only when someone enters the photo cells illumination area; Pressure cooker saves electric power and time and preserves nutritive ingredients; use a burner of the same/lesser diameter like/then the cooking dish diameter

The objective of this project is to enable the persons with disabilities to use mobile Internet anywhere, with the laptop and modem, which will make easier for them to be at the very source of information at all times and thus be included in the life of the social community to the maximum.
This activity has been planned as a long-term project. The employees of Promonte will also be involved in the project and they will, through their voluntary work, be at the disposal for advice and assistance to the persons with disabilities who will be using the service and will, with their personal examples and efforts, contribute to the development of the overall concept of social responsibility. Should the pilot project prove to be successful and useful for the persons with disabilities, Promonte will later also extend the project to other non-governmental organizations that are actively engaged in this problem area.
The success of a company is not measured just by good performance and outstanding position in the market, but also by its responsibility to the community in which it does business and to its people. The evidence of this statement is the fact that the Telenor Group, the owner of Promonte Company, is the first on the list of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

This is, first of all, result of good indicators when it comes to interconnection revenues which are significantly higher than the last year. At the same time, regardless favorable tariffs that Promonte offers to it’s customers, higher number of postpaid subscribers caused growing revenues in this segment on yearly level. Development of data services, known as Internet Anywhere concept, has contribute constantly to a positive trend. Launching of Djuice brand, especially when it comes to the contribution in number of subscribers, is also registered as support to Promonte stability. However, roaming and prepaid revenues were slightly down than expected, especially during summer months.
Promonte registered revenue volume of 20.7 mill eur in fourth quarter of 2009. that is on the level of revenue volume achieved in quarter fourth of 2007.
“Revenues remained stable, higher interconnection revenues compensated less intensive campaigns of selling subsidized handsets and lower roaming revenues”, explains Rada Drobnjak, Promonte CFO.
Cumulatively, for twelve months of 2008., total revenues reached 94,2 mill eur or 1% lower than total revenues in 2007.
For the fourth quarter of 2008. EBITDA in local currency increased for 20% on 7,7 mill eur comparing the same quarter of 2007. The EBITDA margin increased mainly due to reduced sales and handset related costs more than offsetting the increased interconnect costs. For 12 months of 2008. EBITDA is 39.6 mill eur, or 7% lower compared with the 12 months of 2007.
“Based on several indicators that Promonte is following up, management evaluates that this company holds stable position of the market leader during the last year. The number of subscriptions decreased by 102,000 during the fourth quarter mainly due to the end of the tourist season, what is a characteristic of tourist country as Montenegro.” - says Christopher Laska, Promonte CEO and adds: ”Official reports in Montenegro about mobile operator market hare refers to overall number of active SIM cards. Promonte also reports respecting this criteria. But, this kind of measurement is not telling a lot about success in business performance, especially not on the over saturated Montenegrin market. Therefore we are more focused on analyses of our share in total traffic and revenue share as they are much better indicators of business performance.”
At the global level, with 5,5 million new subscriptions, or 164 million in total, Telenor remained the seventh largest mobile operator in the world. More details about Telenor Group business performance you could find on: http://www.telenor.com/en/investor-relations/reports/q4-2008.jsp

If any campaign arouses the most noble and most humane in us, then it is certainly the campaign of collecting aid for the inmates of the Orphanage in Bijela.
And so it was this time as well; however, everything took on even a wider dimension because our employees made a huge contribution to it by brining shoes, clothes, and toys. Maybe the title in a daily paper „Employees Setting an Example” is the best proof of that. Let’s be proud of it!
Traditionally, on the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays, Promonte organizes distribution of packages for those children, as a consideration and care for the persons deprived of parental care.
Moreover, the actors of the Town Theater from Podgorica played for the children a puppet-show „Magic Stone”, the general sponsor of which is our Company.
There were also the Santa Claus, a magician as well as young singers.
At least for a moment, we felt the genuine children’s happiness, we saw smiles on their faces...
Have a look at what it looked like in a photo story.

 World AIDS Day, the 1st of December, this year, in all the countries – members of the United Nations, is marked through the campaign under the title „STOP AIDS. Let Us Fulfill the Commitments Made. Take over the Initiative!“. This time, the global campaign is particularly targeted at the leaders in societies and at their role in the fight against this disease, which worldwide took almost 3 million lives in the course of 2005 and, in the same year, over 4 million persons were infected with HIV. AIDS is the problem, which calls for a major engagement on all levels of a society. It is indispensible that every member of the society gives his/her contribution to the response to HIV, so that the number of persons who carry this virus in Montenegro remains on a low level. The leaders, the elected senior officials in the society, in this case, should demonstrate responsibility and take over the decisive role.
This year as well, Promonte Company is the general sponsor of the activity of the non-governmental organization CAZAS, which marks the 1st of December within the National Campaign, which is launched in the entire territory of Montenegro. The prime mover of the Campaign on the national level is the Republic AIDS Commission, while CAZAS is one of the partners participating in its carrying on. This year, the campaign will last in the period between the 17th of November and the 10th of December and will be based on two main segments: fight against the stigma and discrimination, and the work with vulnerable groups.
In addition to the humanitarian concert, which was held in the coffee shop Nice Vice in Podgorica on the 30th of November, at which Boris Novkovic performed, within the plan of the campaign, CAZAS will realize numerous activities across Montenegro: ,,Travelling Van’’, the production and distribution of the informative, educational, and promotional materials, lectures, and forums at the faculties of the University of Montenegro, media, and sports activities.

Company Promonte has achieved another venture that deserves attention: HSDPA (technology for data transfer by mobile networks) has been started on base stations in Podgorica, speed up to 7.2 Mbps (mega bites per second). We note that so far the biggest theoretical speed was limited to 3.6 Mbps.
 Penetration of Internet users in Montenegro is low, while penetration of mobile telephony is amongst the biggest in the world. This gives Montenegro a big possibility to, along with combination of different technologies, very quickly gets closer to Internet users.
What makes Promonte unique in the region is the possibility of accessing Internet services through the largest number of different technologies, starting with GPRS, EDGE, through UMTS (3G), HSDPA up to the speed of even 7,2 Mbps, but also through WiMax and WiFi technology, that is, the products known to the users such as Internet Anywhere and Internet Anywhere Zone. In this way, Promonte users dispose of super fast access to various Internet contents, sending and receiving emails etc.
Within the next months Promonte is planning to make the speed of 7,2 Mbps available in other towns of Montenegro. Coverage by 3G signal is currently ensured in other Montenegrin municipalities, mainly in urban areas: Nikšić, Cetinje, Ulcinj, Bar, Budva, Kotor, Tivat, Herceg-Novi, Berane, Bijelo Polje, Rožaje, Plav, Pljevlja and Žabljak. This autumn, the 3G base stations will be set up in Kolašin, Mojkovac and Danilovgrad.

When in January 2008, among the first mobile operators in the world Promonte had offered the pre-paid package “Internet Anywhere”, intended for Internet access via mobile network to the Montenegrin market, users in Montenegro from then on have had the possibility of wireless Internet access via Wi-Fi technology. For the start, these services were offered to the selected locations in Podgorica (hotels Podgorica, Best Western Premier, Apart, ...), Bar (Marina Bar, Hotel Princess...) and in Budva (Marina, hotel Tara...). Promonte is daily working on increasing the number of locations where this service will be available.
By means of computer or mobile telephone with WLAN (Wi-Fi) possibilities and access code that can be bought at sales points within the locations where„ Internet Anywhere zone” is available or ordered by SMS from 069 numbers, and the ultimate user will get fast and reliable wireless internet access.
By purchase of access code the user gets appropriate time for Internet access.
What makes this service and Promonte itself unique in the region is:
- Simultaneous application of different technologies 3G/HSPA, WiMax and Wi-Fi aiming at enabling the ultimate Wi-Fi user the identical method of internet access, regardless to the technology applied as the background
- For the first time the “state of the art” (top quality) solutions were applied in Montenegro:
-Mesh technology for covering certain locations by Wi-Fi signal. Principal advantage of Mesh technology is possibility of connecting elements of Wi-Fi network in wireless manner.
-„Smart“ aerials that adopt the level of signal to the users needs in the location and thus enable energy savings with higher quality of service.
 “This peculiarity is not its own objective, but these modern and innovative technologies and solutions are applied aiming at providing wireless Internet access to wider population and at a large area with using only one device and one access method. Since mobile and wireless technologies are considered to be the fastest and most efficient method of providing Internet to as wider group of users as possible. Promonte has implemented the unique combination of the latest achievements in 3G/HSPA, WiMax and WiFi technologies” Executive Manager of the Company had stressed, Mr. Kare Gustad.
The user has the possibility of unlimited number of connections within the time he had bough, as well as the possibility for using access codes in all the locations where WiiFi network is available, regardless to the place it was bought at, which represents another novelty in Montenegro. More details on using this service can be found through Promonte web address www.promonte.com.
This service is a result of joint work of Promonte and Telenor organizational unit for research and innovations (Telenor Research and Innovations), which operates at global level. Having in mind that Montenegrin market is characterized as fruitful ground for technological innovations, cooperation will continue aiming at ensuring ultimate users with easy, fast and reliable usage of service. There we can by all means include applications of the latest and “state of the art“ solutions for wireless Internet access with usage of most modern technologies.
As the leading provider of mobile communications in Montenegro, Promonte has a clear ambition to be the leader in wireless broadband services, although mobile telephony will be the major business area of Promonte in future.

Promonte users will be the only ones in Montenegro and among the first ones in the region who will be able to download the entire songs from the latest Madonna’s album "Hard Candy", thanks to cooperation of this Company and authorized distributor for Montenegro and Serbia "Mascom Records".
In cooperation with the same company, Telenor company has ensured this exclusive right to its users in Serbia.
We shall emphasize that in the last year there were some major changes throughout the world regarding distribution of music and we are trying to keep up with them. Expectations are that the sales through mobile telephony will replace the classic sales in the next several years, where it becomes clear that the new music models of telephones will replace mp3 players because of the better sound, possibility to process other contents and many other preferences.
It can easily be said that mobile telephone becomes the real shop of musical contents and in addition to its basic function represents the simpliest and the fastest method to buy the song you want.

Promonte employees volunteered in planting a park in the Montenegrin capital.
When we speak about “Climate Changes”, its targets and activities, we often make a conclusion that we need huge investments to reach the awareness and fulfill some of the goals. But this is not always the case. In order to prove it, Promonte started with a 5000 euro donation to the Municipality of Podgorica for planting the park around the new children’s playground. The action was first planned for June 5th, The World Environment Protection Day, but due to bad weather conditions it was delayed for June 12th.
09.30h – Gathering in the front of Promonte building
On foot to the children playground
Aiming to raise the awareness of Promonte employees about climate changes and global warming as well as giving a good example to the wider public in Montenegro, we invited Promonte employees to plant the trees themselves. They demonstrated a high level of social responsibility by working hard voluntarily and planting many trees.
Building the awareness is the task that Promonte started to execute among media representatives as well. Some weeks ago, a seminar for Montenegrin journalist was organized to try “selling” the idea on climate changes. This is probably why the majority of printed and electronic media in Montenegro made a thorough report about our activity performed on Thursday. Some of the journalists did a step forward and joined Promonte employees in planting. This could be a positive example on how to raise the awareness about this issue with very limited amounts invested.
1,2,3 team build action
“With today’s action Promonte shows a symbolic way that it is very important that all of us care about protecting the environment. In the whole Telenor group, and consequently in Promonte, the project “Climate Changes” has been launched as we want to show that climate changes and global warming are everyone’s business. All of us could, by individual contribution, prove that we do care.” said Kare Gustad, CEO of Promonte, to the Montenegrin media.
“I am very happy and proud that one third of Promonte employees has supported this initiative and showed that they are responsible citizens and aware of the climate change problem. But most of all, I’m very pleased to see that our employees are willing to take an action that will contribute to the success of our program.”, said Dijana Dendic, owner of the Climate Change Program in Promonte.
CxO’s as a good example
Managers in the front lines
“This is a good example to everybody in Montenegro how they can also contribute to environmental protection,” said Srdjan Mugosa, Director of Municipality Company “City greenery”.
