Executive Summary The “Country Mapping report for Montenegro - with a view to identify potential for extension of existing Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe as well as emerging themes for new cultural routes“ is prepared in accordance with the Call for independent experts announced by Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes (EPA) Secretariat in June 2020. This report for EPA member State and Cultural Routes managers has a view to further develop the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe programme in Montenegro. The Country Mapping report is prepared following the structure and the content, as well as guidelines for implementation, defined in the Call. The Country Mapping report is prepared in close consultation with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Montenegro ,which represents the former Ministry of Culture of Montenegro 1. Montenegrohasbeena Member State of the Council of Europe since 2007. In 2011 Montenegro became a Member State of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe (EPA). The EPA Representative for Montenegro has been the Ministry of Culture of Montenegro, recently transformed into the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Montenegro. The Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe programme was launched in 1987 to demonstrate, via journeys through space and time, how the heritage of the dierent countries in Europe contributes to a shared cultural heritage. The programme acts as a channel for intercultural dialogue and promotes better knowledge and understanding of European cultural identity while preserving and enhancing natural and cultural heritage.Currently, there are 40 certified Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe. Montenegro is currently a formal member ofjust one Cultural Route of the Council of Europe - the Iter Vitis Route. In addition Montenegro has alreadytakensome initiative towards joiningfour more routes: . Two routes the process of joining of which has been undertaken, but still needs to be formalized (Roman Emperors and Danube Wine Route, Routes of the Olive Tree) 1Following the Parliamentary elections held in Montenegro on August 30, 2020, the Parliament of Montenegro elected, on December 4, 2020, a new, 42nd Government of Montenegro, in which the former Ministry of Culture was merged with three other ministries, forming thus the new Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports. Country Mapping report for Montenegro | 5 . Two routes in which Montenegrin sites have already been included in some way, but the process of official joining has not been initiated yet (European Cemeteries Route, European Route of Industrial Heritage) Regarding the University Network for Cultural Routes Studies ,rectors of the University of Montenegro and the University of Donja Gorica, signed a letter of intent expressing an interest in joining the network, with the aim of promoting and encouraging the research in the field of cultural tourism.None of the Universities has become an official member of the University Network, although there are plans for activities towards that aim. Activities related to Cultural Routes of Council of Europe Since Montenegro became a Member State of the EPA certainactivities and initiatives related to Cultural Routes of Council of Europe were conducted by Ministries, Universities and Cultural Routes members. There are also different activities, projects and initiatives that have been or are being conducted in Montenegro by different actors, not necessarily connected with the Cultural Routes of Council of Europe but with cultural routes in general . Preparation of the Country Mapping report for Montenegro included an analysis of potentials of cultural heritage of Montenegro for joining the existing certified Cultural Routes . Taking into account all the different types of cultural heritage resources in Montenegro and their values, the country has substantialpotential to join 13Cultural Routes of Council of Europe out of a total of 40 certified routes. Those 13 routes include the five routes the process of joining of which has already been initiated in some way.

    Ministry of Tourism INFORMATION ON TOURISM IN 2009 Ministry of Tourism INTRODUCTION The 2009 tourist season progressed in extraordinary circumstances, giv- en the economic crisis which largely influenced tourist trends not only in our country but in the region as well. The projections of the 2009 Economic Policy are achieved. Finan- cial and physical indicators are at the level of the last year’s indicators, and surveys show a high level of satisfaction of tourists. Having in mind objective conditions, the achieved results can be considered a large suc- cess. Activities focused on preparing the season Ministry of Tourism Within the preparations for this year’s tourist season, considerable funds were in- vested in improving communal and road infrastructures. During the season, the work of communal services and power supply sys- tem were at a satisfactory level, and when speaking about water-supply, a number of activities were undertaken to reduce losses of the existing network by replacing worn-out pipes, and finding new springs in order to provide a longer-term solution to the problem. It is expected that majority of works will be completed next season, so municipality networks will be ready for the completion of the Project Regional Water-supply System. ● road infrastructure - more than 27 million € invested ● airport infrastructure – more than 6 million € invested ● transmission and distribution network improved– more than 4 million € invested ● infrastructure on border crossings improved and the time tourists spend on border crossings

Then there was a parallel between broken concepts, culture and tourism, and synergy and networking of these two terms. Furthermore, Montenegro is taken to be the study case, as country which has been recognizable in previous years, as one of the prosperous tourist countries in the region and beyond.

  • Survey on Low Carbon Tourism in Montenegro Final Report
    SURVEY ON LOW CARBON TOURISM IN MONTENEGRO FINAL REPORT Report prepared by: E3 Consulting Energy-Ecology-Economy 2015. Survey on Low Carbon Tourism in Montenegro is conducted in July 2015 in cooperation with the Centre for sustainable development and E3 Consulting Podgorica. 2 SURVEY ON LOW CARBON TOURISM IN MONTENEGRO, 2015. PROJECT SUPERVISORS: PhD Jelena Janjusevic, director of the Centre for sustainable development Radica Zekovic, Analyst, Centre for sustainable development Viktor Subotic, UNDP Montenegro Dragana Cenic, UNDP Montenegro Ana Pajevic, UNDP Montenegro PROJECT TEAM: MSci Milica Dakovic, Project supervisor Budimka Golubovic, Project manager PhD Andrija Djurovic, Methodologist MSci Aleksandar Janicic, Economic Analyst Aleksandra Popovic, Economic Analyst Ivana Jankovic, Economic Analyst Maida Muratovic, Environmental Protection Specialist 3 SURVEY ON LOW CARBON TOURISM IN MONTENEGRO, 2015. 4 SURVEY ON LOW CARBON TOURISM IN MONTENEGRO, 2015. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Survey on low-carbon tourism in Montenegro was conducted in 6 coastal municipalities (Bar, Budva, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Ulcinj) and Old Royal Capital Cetinje and it included three target groups: 1) 1,000 visiting tourists; 2) 100 travel and tourism sector representatives; and 3) relevant central & local authorities in the area of tourism and environmental protection. Tourists, travel and tourism sector representatives and relevant central & local authorities in the area of tourism and environmental protection in general showed quite poor awareness level on low carbon growth and knowledge on low carbon services and products throughout the travel and tourism supply chain. Still, general perception is that Montenegro is pure and nature-friendly tourism destination. There were no concretely stated low carbon travel and tourism products or services offered in Montenegro, except for Marina Porto Montenegro with ecological standards for yachts.

  • Coastal Tourism in Montenegro – Economic Dynamics, Spatial Developments and Future Perspectives
    HRVATSKI GEOGRAFSKI GLASNIK 73/1, 165 – 180 (2011.) UDK 379.8:911.3](497.16) Preliminary communication 911.3:33](497.16) Prethodno priopćenje Coastal Tourism in Montenegro – Economic Dynamics, Spatial Developments and Future Perspectives Matthias Bickert, Daniel Göler, Holger Lehmeier Montenegro seeks its future perspectives in tourism. And there are good reasons for that: The country was considered to be the fastest growing tourism market worldwide in 2007. Notwithstanding a slight decrease during the last years, tourism is still seen as a crucial factor for future economic development. This seems to be a viable option if we consider Montenegro’s natural potential, its beneficial position on the Adriatic coastline and the experience in tourism gained in the many years since the 1970s. These dynamic developments were motivation enough to explore tourism in Montene- gro in a research project with strong empirical evidence, organised as co-operation between Universities from Germany, Albania, Montenegro and Serbia. Our empirical approach included semi-structured, flexible interviews with different types of stakeholders. Since tourism in Montenegro is still almost entirely limited to the coast, we chose three coastal hot-spots in tourism, namely Kotor, Budva and Ulcinj. Our results show that the current development in tourism can surely be considered as progressive and dynamic. But it is also strongly affected by multiple polarisations and divergent trends. There is a need for infrastructural upgrades in the mass tourism sector, which is for the most part a low budget market with very difficult future perspectives. At the same time, there is a small but growing number of very exclusive offers, often seen as the vanguard of Montenegro’s future as an upper class tourists’ destination.
