In its long lasting experience the Institute for construction materials and geotehnics AD – Niksic has created a very successful cooperation with all prosperous institutions in Montenegro which also work in the fields of geology and construction, such as:

• “Geosonda” – Belgrade

• SCT d.d. – Ljubljana.
