In the export structure, electricity was the most represented in the amount of 134.9 million euros, which is significantly more than last year when the export of electricity was worth 50 million euros, but the problem is that since July Elektroprivreda started importing electricity due to the drought and weak operation of hydroelectric power plants. Therefore, the import of electricity for the observed period is 31 million more than the export.

Almost the same value for the mentioned period was achieved by Montenegro from the export of non-ferrous metals (aluminum).

294 million was spent on oil imports, and half a billion was spent on machines and transport devices, which include road vehicles, electric and industrial machines…

105 million was spent on the import of clothing and footwear, and this industry almost does not exist in Montenegro because the value of exports was 1.8 million.

When it comes to the members of the European Union, according to them, the value of total exports is 34.5 percent, or 104 million, even eight times less than the value of imports. As much as 221.6 million euros of goods were imported from Greece alone.

Among the biggest importers of Montenegro is China with a value of 238.59 million, local media reports.
