Montenegro’s aviation and transport sectors are undergoing significant expansion and infrastructure modernization. In the aviation sector, regional connectivity is increasing, with Air Serbia and Air Montenegro boosting Belgrade-Tivat rotations. Aerodromi Crne Gore (ACG) recently reported serving three million passengers, reaching this milestone significantly earlier than in previous years. To support this, the government is accelerating airport upgrades. Airports of Montenegro has announced a nine million euro plan to upgrade buildings in Podgorica and Tivat, including new entrances, terminal expansions, and weather protection canopies. The Ministry of Transport is currently evaluating methods to select a developer for a long-term airport master plan for Tivat and Podgorica, which aims to define development for the next 10 to 15 years. Options under consideration include international tenders, technical assistance from international financial institutions and European funds, or government-to-government agreements. While media reports suggested a letter of intent from the French 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 such as terminal renovations, canopy installations in Tivat, power supply upgrades in Podgorica, and increased parking capacity. To assist with broader sectoral development, the Ministry has appointed Belgrade-based aviation expert Saša Vlaisavljević as a special consultant to conduct a strategic analysis of air traffic infrastructure and systemic solutions. ~~His role focuses on a broad analysis of infrastructural initiatives rather than being strictly tied to~~ Recently, Minister Zečević requested advisory and technical support from the ~~airport~~ International Air Transport Association (IATA) to assist in developing these master ~~plan.
