Developments: 2. In late July 2026, the municipality of Tivat, Montenegro, opened a public consultation to draft its 2026‑2030 Culture Development Program, inviting residents, NGOs, cultural institutions and experts to shape the city’s cultural agenda. A working group led by Maja Marović organized focus groups for citizens aged 15 and above and a call for written proposals on heritage protection, youth content, accessibility and public‑private‑civil cooperation. A few weeks later, in early August 2026, Tivat signed a €270,000 contract with the Montenegrin Spatial Planning Agency to prepare a new Spatial‑Urban Plan covering the municipality through 2040. The agreement includes a public meeting to gather input on parking, traffic, pedestrian and bicycle routes, and stresses the need to balance development with environmental protection within the UNESCO buffer zone. Both steps reflect a broader push by Tivat’s authorities to involve the community in shaping the town’s cultural and spatial future. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-06: Tivat Municipality signs €270,000 contract for 2040 spatial‑urban plan Tivat, Montenegro signed a €270,000 contract to draft a 2040 spatial‑urban plan, involving community input and addressing UNESCO buffer‑zone constraints. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tivat-municipality-signs-270000-contract-for-2040-spatialurban-plan ### 2026-07-24: Tivat municipality launches public consultation for 2026‑2030 cultural development program Tivat (Montenegro) opens a participatory process, including focus groups and a public call, to draft its 2026‑2030 Culture Development Program, led by Maja Marović.
