The tender for the second section of the highway from Mateševo to Andrijevica has been successfully completed, and the process is wrapping up. Meanwhile, work is beginning on the conceptual design for the third section, with the possibility of launching the construction tender early next year.

Prime Minister Milojko Spajić shared this update in an interview with the Mina news agency, discussing the progress of the highway’s upcoming sections.

“We will soon sign a contract with the successful bidder. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has set the tender guidelines, so we expect to finalize the contractor and start construction as soon as possible,” Spajić stated.

He noted that Montenegro is prepared on its end, awaiting the EBRD to complete the process.

“For the continuation of the highway from Andrijevica to Boljare, we are starting the conceptual design phase, which follows the preliminary design. We already have the preliminary design ready for this section. With the conceptual design underway, we anticipate being able to announce the construction tender early next year,” Spajić added.

He highlighted that there are currently 14 highway and express road projects at various stages of development.

These projects include the express road linking Sarajevo with Podgorica via Pljevlja and Goražde, the section from Andrijevica to Peć connecting Montenegro with Kosovo, southern Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece, as well as sections from Sozina to the Port of Bar and from Bar to the Albanian border.

“A four-lane express road will extend from Paštrovačka Gora to the Croatian border, passing through Luštica,” Spajić mentioned.

Plans also include a bypass through Brezani to avoid the serpentine roads leading to Šavnik, extending to Žabljak.

“We will construct a new bridge over the Tara River, either through Bobovo or another route. The conceptual design will address these details,” Spajić explained.

Further plans include express roads connecting Podgorica to Nikšić, Nikšić to Pljevlja via Šavnik and Žabljak, and a road from Podgorica through Tuzi to the Albanian border.

“This investment development, set to take place over the next six years, will benefit all municipalities in Montenegro and transform our economic future. I am confident in Montenegro’s significant economic potential,” Spajić concluded.

He also noted strong interest from foreign investors, particularly the EBRD and the European Investment Bank (EIB), who have traditionally supported infrastructure projects in Montenegro.
