The chairman of the University of Montenegro’s Science Committee, Vladimir Pesic, in charge of the anti-plagiarism programme, told Pobjeda that it is not a problem to determine whether a document is plagiarized or not.
“I am sure that most of the curricula and programmes of study done by the Bureau for Education Services are plagiarised,” he said.
He also warned that there is a serious plagiarism issue in Montenegro.
“We have flagrant examples of plagiarism, from copying strategies, rulebooks and laws from countries in the region (which are, of course, copyright protected), to plagiarism in NGO projects,” Pesic said.
As a reminder, in a phone conversation with his Croatian counterpart Blazenka Divljak, the minister of education Damir Sehovic expressed his regret for the scandal made by our experts who worked on the curriculum of physical education. It turned out that they copied Croatian draft curriculum.
In a joint statement, the two ministries pointed out that the departments were in contact related to the issue in drafting certain Montenegrin programmes of study based on Croatia’s curricular documents.
