Problems and risks • Undeveloped road network• Outdated vehicles and infrastructure condition in the
railway sector • Insufficient airport operation • Low capacity utilisation of the Port of Bar• Weak traffic connection of MNE with the region • Insufficient availability of experienced and trained, highly-
skilled staff* • Insufficient investments in research and development
activities

Further constraints
• Unfavourable relief (unfavourable topography of the territory, mountain ranges with complicated crossings)
• Great amount of resources needed for modernisation• High number of accidents due to insufficient transport
safety&security• Non-compliance with international standards• Difficulties in finding strategic
partners • Increasing harmful impacts on the
environment

Steps to be taken (2) - Liberalisation of transport at international level in order to provide
higher degree of trade efficiency- Planning of seasonal traffic regimes- Modernisation and revitalisation of airports and old ports (Virpazar)
