Abazović: By 2028, we can reach up to 2 billion income in tourism

Prime Minister Dritan Abazović held a lecture at the Mediterranean University on the topic “Economy of Montenegro – state, directions of development and perspectives”.

The Prime Minister presented the results of the Government’s work and economic parameters, which, as he said, are at record highs and have a tendency for further growth. “Fiscal discipline, legal certainty, a healthy business environment and efficient state administration – this is the vision of Montenegro on the right track,” said the Prime Minister.

Speaking about tourism, he pointed to the need to develop religious and health tourism and better valorization of the potential and cultural assets such as the icon of Philermos, for which, according to the Prime Minister, a special facility needs to be built in Cetinje. “With effective decisions and stimulating policies, by 2028 we can reach 2 billion in tourism revenue,” he said.

The Prime Minister also spoke about capital projects such as: the continuation of the highway, the construction of the Kotor-Lovćen cable car, the Plav-Dečani road, the Tivat-Jaz boulevard and the cable cars in Mojkovac, Kolašin and Bijelo Polje, which are in various stages of implementation.

During the lecture, he referred to the modernization projects of the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant, the construction of a cement plant, the unification of the Port of Bar and better valorization of the airport.

“I believe that in a few years, Montenegro will be a country where citizens of the European Union will come to live and work”, the Prime Minister concluded the lecture.

The Prime Minister answered numerous questions from students and professors. About 150 students, professors and media representatives attended the lecture.
