Montenegro prime minister creates new science ministry

Science : Igor Lukšić, Montenegro’s new prime minister and, at 34, the youngest head of state in the world, has in one of his first official acts created a dedicated science ministry for the country. Tanja Vlahovic, previously head of tourism faculty at the Mediterranean University in Bar, will serve as the country’s first science minister. The move, however, has sparked some criticism and calls for Montenegro to instead invest more in research.
