Podgorica, (MINA-BUSINESS) – According to Minister of Maritime Affairs, Filip Radulovic the establishment of a new maritime service connecting Kotor and Dubrovnik marks a significant step toward further strengthening the friendly and economic relations between Montenegro and Croatia.

He stated that this maritime connection would make the coasts of both countries even more attractive destinations for visitors.

The service will operate until 30 September this year, and is expected to greatly facilitate travel for both locals and tourists.

Additionally, by reducing pressure on road traffic, it will contribute to environmental protection and sustainable tourism development.

The Ministry also noted that, in addition to the Kotor–Dubrovnik route, three other international maritime services would be active during this summer season, connecting Montenegro with neighbouring countries: Budva–Dubrovnik, Bar–Bari, and Bar–Ancona.
