German Ambassador Gudrin Steinaker brought her bicycle to Montenegro, which she rides whenever she has the chance.
"It's healthy and good for the environment, it doesn't pollute," she said.
Steinaker does not see anything unusual in this and says that in Germany even MPs often ride bicycles.
In Montenegro, such a practice is not common, which does not mean that it was not the case.
"It is nothing new that a bicycle can also be used as an official vehicle, what's more, this was done in Montenegro in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The great acceleration came in the twenty-first century, when this form of transport is completely forgotten here," they said from NGO Biciklo.me.
From that organization, they sent an initiative to about 150 addresses to make the bicycle an official vehicle.
Steinaker, however, says that for such a thing it is necessary to fulfill certain prerequisites - to provide an infrastructure that is safe for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. Then it will be clear how many are willing to replace luxury official vehicles with a cheaper primary vehicle.
