Montenegro Deploys Over 1,500 Police for EU-Western Balkans Summit

Montenegro is mobilizing over 1,500 police officers to ensure security during the European Union-Western Balkans Summit, scheduled for June 4-5 in Tivat. The event will necessitate temporary operational limits for certain hospitality and business establishments. Additionally, traffic on the Adriatic highway will face intermittent and occasional complete closures, starting from Thursday noon.

Delegates will be transported by sea to Kotor, Tivat, and Herceg Novi, with bus services extending to Budva. A section of the Porto Montenegro complex in Tivat will be under a special access regime. The mayor of Tivat, Željko Komnenović, stated that the municipality has made every effort to prevent congestion at the airport during the arrival of delegations.

"The largest number of summit participants' delegates will land at Tivat airport, over 20 of them, and we will provide transportation by boat to Kotor, Herceg Novi, Tivat, and by bus to Budva, as a large number of flights have already been announced," Komnenović explained. The summit's agenda and specific security measures underscore the importance of the event for regional cooperation.
