Nikšić is undergoing various infrastructure and social service developments. Initial projects included the inauguration of a 3.7 million euro fire station and a 3.3 million euro multifunctional Congress Multimedia Hall at the Dom revolucije, intended to support the city’s preparations for its role as the European Capital of Culture in 2030. Additionally, reconstruction work was initiated at the Nikšić General Hospital’s Children’s Department.

Following these developments, the Nikšić Municipality Assembly approved further measures, including a plan to provide free childcare at the JPU ‘Dragan Kovačević’ preschool, with full municipal funding expected to begin in the 2027/2028 school year. 

Infrastructure and economic investments also expanded through the approval of a 3 million euro loan from the European Investment Bank for a sewage network project, a 12 million euro commercial development agreement with Big MNE expected to create 150 jobs, and new measures to improve urban mobility through public transport services.
