Every successful infrastructure or energy project — whether it’s a high-voltage substation, a bridge span, or a wind-turbine tower — shares one common factor: a living QA/QC plan that governs how quality is achieved, measured, and proven. Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are often treated as technical checklists, but in practice they are the heartbeat of...
In every large infrastructure or energy project — from high-voltage substations and grid corridors to wind farms and industrial facilities — one silent force ensures that ambition becomes reliable reality: the Owner’s Engineer (OE). Appointed by the project owner or financing institutions, the OE acts as the independent technical conscience of the investment.Its mission: to review designs, monitor...
In today’s global manufacturing landscape, no factory, fabrication hall, or industrial facility can thrive without dependable grid connectivity and compliant power infrastructure. Across Serbia and Montenegro, the expansion of substations, high-voltage (HV) transmission lines, and grid-connection projects has become a critical foundation for the development of modern fabrication industries — from steel production to heavy...
Montenegro’s geography has always been its greatest silent asset. Wedged between the EU and the Western Balkans, with coastline access to the Adriatic and a direct customs transit line into European markets, the country is now emerging as a cross-border business platform for trade, logistics, and specialized services. Despite its modest population of just over...
When the last yachts sail out of Budva’s marina and the promenade cafés close their parasols, Montenegro’s coastal towns fall into a deep and familiar silence. The air grows crisp, the sea turns steel-blue, and only a few local walkers trace the stone-lined shores. Yet beneath this calm lies an untapped opportunity. For decades, Montenegro’s...
While Montenegro’s coast dazzles with marinas and Mediterranean glamour, the country’s true test of development lies inland. The northern half — stretching from the iron city of Nikšić to the high plateaus of Žabljak, Berane, and Pljevlja — remains the backbone of industry, energy, and logistics. Here, steel, hydroelectric power, and agriculture shape the landscape...
Montenegro’s coastline is short, but it carries an outsized reputation. Stretching a mere 300 kilometers from the Croatian to the Albanian border, this narrow strip of land packs centuries of maritime history, Venetian architecture, Mediterranean landscapes — and, increasingly, international investment. In just two decades, Montenegro has evolved from a little-known Balkan retreat into one...
Tucked between the Adriatic coast and the Balkans’ inland corridors, Montenegro is quietly positioning itself as a re-export and logistics hub linking Europe’s industrial base with emerging markets in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. The transformation centers on the Port of Bar, a deep-water facility with a dedicated Free Zone allowing companies to import, process, assemble, and re-export goods under...
Miodrag Đuranović, councilor of the Civic Movement URA in the Podgorica City Assembly, warned that Montenegro continues to experience a troubling trade imbalance, with data from the first eight months of the year showing an alarming trend. According to Đuranović, Montenegro’s exports fell by 4.6%, totaling only €365.7 million, while imports increased by 6.5%, reaching...
