In 2024, Pošta Crne Gore marked its 150th anniversary of membership in the Universal Postal Union, making it one of the most successful years in its history. The company achieved significant financial success, with a profit of approximately €2.5 million, a massive increase from the €126,605 profit in 2023. This growth was driven by a continuous increase in revenue, which was up 23.6% compared to 2023, and 28.42% higher than in 2019. The company’s gross profit also saw a 17.58% rise from 2022.
In terms of operational improvements, Pošta Crne Gore invested heavily in its infrastructure, particularly in its logistics. It acquired 220 new mopeds, including 40 electric ones, to modernize its delivery fleet. Additionally, the company invested in electric delivery vehicles, receiving support from both the World Postal Union and Montenegro’s Environmental Protection Fund. It also implemented GPS devices for all delivery vehicles and postmen, improving delivery efficiency, safety, and service quality.
One of the ongoing challenges is the lack of an adequate logistics center, with the current facility in Podgorica being insufficient for the company’s needs. However, Pošta Crne Gore has taken steps to address this, including securing land for the construction of a new business logistics center as part of the government’s economic recovery platform for 2022-2026. The company has also made significant upgrades to its existing facilities, improving security, car storage, and working conditions.
Pošta Crne Gore’s future plans focus on digitalization, expanding e-commerce services, and increasing its market share in commercial postal services. It aims to integrate modern technologies into its operations, including a new information system to improve business transparency and decision-making. The company is also working to improve working conditions for employees, with increased salaries, bonuses, and a focus on recruiting and training new staff.
Overall, 2024 was a landmark year for Pošta Crne Gore, with substantial financial gains, operational improvements, and a solid foundation for future growth and modernization.
