Climate change in a glass of wine

Klimatske promjene u čaši vina

The Montevitis project, developed in Montenegro, was recently featured in a national news report by RTCG – Radio Televizija Crne Gore. The programme highlights how the project, led by the University of Donja Gorica (UDG) in collaboration with national and international partners, is combining science, tradition, and digital innovation to promote a more sustainable, climate-resilient, and technology-driven approach to viticulture in this region.
