Montenegro Ministry of Transport weighs options for airport master plan

The Montenegrin Ministry of Transport is evaluating how to select a developer for a long-term master plan for the country's airports in Tivat and Podgorica. The strategic document aims to define the development direction for the next 10 to 15 years and address technical and technological limitations.

Officials are considering several methods for selecting a developer, including international tenders, technical assistance from international financial institutions and European funds, or government-to-government (G2G) agreements. While media reports suggested a letter of intent from the French consulting firm Artelia had been received, Transport Minister Radoš Zečević stated that no such document has arrived at the Ministry.

In the interim, a working group is prioritizing urgent investments that will proceed regardless of the master plan's completion. These priority projects include terminal renovations, canopy installations in Tivat, power supply upgrades in Podgorica, capacity expansions for terminal structures, and increased parking space at both airports to prepare for the upcoming tourist season.
