Montenegro offers exceptional investment opportunities, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who urged investors to act now rather than wait for EU membership. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić highlighted ongoing projects worth nearly €3 billion.
Von der Leyen emphasized that Montenegro’s adoption of the euro and inclusion in the SEPA system are major steps forward, making the country an attractive destination for European businesses before formal EU accession. She stressed the importance of cooperation across sectors such as energy, engineering, agribusiness, and tourism. The investments being promoted aim to provide opportunities for Montenegro’s young population, encourage diaspora return, and strengthen the economy through modern, high-value projects.
Spajić described Montenegro as a beacon of stability and progress in the region, highlighting its strategic location, developing infrastructure, and competitive tax system. He noted that investments in renewable energy, transport infrastructure, and sustainable tourism are central to the government’s smart growth strategy.
The conference, organized by the Montenegrin government and the EU delegation, brought together domestic and international investors, financial institutions, and diplomats. Its goal is to promote Montenegro as an attractive investment destination and strengthen international economic cooperation under the project “Accelerating Investments in Montenegro.”
