The construction and urban development sectors in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro are undergoing shifts toward technological integration and regulatory reform. In Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, the industry has focused on adopting systemic energy-efficient solutions and engineering precision to support large-scale residential and multifunctional megaprojects. These developments emphasize thermal insulation systems and early-stage design involvement to manage logistics and energy performance. Efforts have since expanded toward administrative and legislative reforms. In Montenegro, officials are moving toward an e-permit system to digitalize and accelerate urban planning and construction permit procedures. Meanwhile, in the Sarajevo Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina, legislative efforts to regulate the management of common building parts remain pending, leaving residents to face ongoing maintenance issues. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-19: Urban planning and building management reforms discussed in Montenegro and Bosnia Montenegro prepares to launch an e-permit system to speed up construction procedures, while Sarajevo Canton faces delays in passing legislation to regulate the management of shared building spaces. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/urban-planning-and-building-management-reforms-discussed-in-montenegro-and-bosnia ### 2026-09-29: Construction industry shifts toward systemic energy-efficient solutions Construction trends in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia are shifting toward systemic, energy-efficient solutions to support residential complexes and large-scale urban megaprojects. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/construction-industry-shifts-toward-systemic-energy-efficient-solutions --- Cite as: Balkan construction and urban planning developments.
