The Turkish Chamber of Commerce in Montenegro has emphasised the strategic importance of sustained and transparent communication between state institutions and the business community as a fundamental prerequisite for improving the country’s investment and business environment, reinforcing investor confidence and facilitating economic development. Representatives of Turkish firms and senior officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Montenegro held discussions focused on current administrative challenges, legislative reforms and procedural obstacles that affect both foreign investors and expatriate business professionals. The engagement, which included the Turkish Ambassador to Montenegro, underlined the growing institutional and diplomatic commitment to strengthening economic ties between the two countries and enhancing the framework for commercial cooperation.
In these discussions, leaders of the Turkish business community reiterated their intention to deepen direct and efficient dialogue with decision-makers to address structural barriers and jointly identify sustainable solutions that can improve Montenegro’s attractiveness as an investment destination. Montenegro’s officials noted that the bilateral economic relationship with Turkey is built on long-standing trust and a robust track record of cooperation, reflected in foreign direct investment inflows that exceeded €870 million in 2025, with Turkish investors accounting for roughly 15 % of that total. Officials also discussed recent migration and residency trends among foreign entrepreneurs, pointing to Montenegro’s increasing role as a base for international business activity in the region.
Both institutional interlocutors and the private sector agreed that advancing reforms, simplifying administrative procedures and fostering open channels of communication are essential to reinforcing trust, accelerating investment flows and deepening economic relations between Montenegro and key partners. The Turkish Chamber signalled plans for a series of future high-level engagements throughout the year to maintain momentum in this institutional-business dialogue and share best practices for regulatory and procedural improvements.
