Although the most important investment potentials in Montenegro are energy and tourism, in recent years real estate investments have dominated. This trend has also influenced the growth of prices.
"The average price of a new apartment in Montenegro increased from 1,250 euros per square meter in 2009 to 2,200 euros per square meter at the end of 2025," said the President of the Construction Committee, Mile Gujić.
The government says that all investors are welcome. However, they do not dispute that we need projects that will trigger economic growth and enable a better life for citizens.
"Our goal is not just to attract investment, but to attract responsible investments, those that bring long-term value, knowledge, modern standards and sustainable development of local communities," said Deputy Prime Minister Nik Đeljošaj.
In order for this to be achieved in practice, investors are looking for secure and predictable business conditions.
Such investments include the construction of a new section of the highway, which will begin at the end of this month or the beginning of next month, as well as the modernization of the airport.
"We will proudly celebrate 20 years of independence, but we will also celebrate 20 years since the last renovation of Podgorica Airport," said Roko Tolić, Director of Montenegro Airports.
Filip Radulović, Minister of Transport and Maritime Affairs, said he did not know how MPs would vote.
"Either we will go into the concession process or the state will take on the role of investor to develop the airport infrastructure itself. This status quo is not good and we cannot continue," said Radulović.
That is why the message from the conference in Budva was that it is necessary for decisions at the state level to be made faster, because investors do not have time to wait.
