The Government of Montenegro nationalized 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development by adopting the National Strategy for Sustainable Development (NSSD) in 2016, together with a corresponding Action Plan for its implementation. The NSSD is umbrella, horizontal and long-term development strategy of Montenegro that relates not only to environment and economics, but also to human resources, valuable social capital that should ensure prosperous development, recommendations for establishing the framework of financing and governance for sustainable development. The NSSD represents strategic framework for the transposition of the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and its indicators into national context. The NSSD Action plan, divided into 6 thematic areas with 30 strategic goals of sustainable development of Montenegro and their 102 measures and 601 sub-measures, represents very complex mechanism for monitoring and reporting about achieving the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Montenegro. Hence, measuring progress in the NSSD implementation is the focus of this research. Effective measuring of the progress in the NSSD implementation could be achieved under the following preconditions: developed coordination mechanism for reporting, methodology of designing indicators, IT support for data collection and reporting, and strengthening of inter-linkages between the EU agenda and UN 2030 Agenda.

The aim of this study is to assess the quality of performance of Montenegrin national sport associations on Facebook. As sport is recognized as an activity of public interest, and social media are one of the main sources of information nowadays, given that social media in sport has delivered a new style of communication, authors will try to evaluate the engagement with the fans and the general public. In this paper, Facebook Assessment Index (FAI) methodology will be applied. This methodology involves the analysis of three components: popularity (25%), interactivity (40%) and content (35%). Each of the criteria is evaluated depending on the importance of the indicator on a scale from 0% to 100%. Coefficient value closer to 100% indicates higher quality of performance on Facebook. The results of our paper show the differences between the three categories of Olympic sports in Montenegro, taking into account their performance on Facebook. Social media, as a marketing tool can enhance the positioning of national sport associations by creating a meaningful connection with the fans and the public. Additionally, this connection may strengthen the feeling of devotion to the national team of Montenegro and incentivize younger generations to start training and competing. This study demonstrates which associations use this channel to portray their sport and results, with the aim of promoting sport and healthy lifestyle.
