The announcement that the supply of yachts with excise-free fuel will be abolished is just another populist measure whose effect will be extremely negative for the development of nautical tourism in Montenegro and the economy of our country, according to Andrija, a member of the Main Board and vice president of the Youth Council of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).

According to him, in the previous two years, thanks to narrow party interests and not the state, numerous "unsustainable legal solutions" were created in the field of economic policy.
The results of "irresponsible politics", without analyzing the effects in the medium and long term, Klikovac adds, are the growth of the unemployment rate, the decline of exports, the growth of the public debt, over 50 million euros of debt to the Health Fund, over 40 million euros missing for social services and services...
"Thanks to this measure and the development of Montenegrin marinas (Porto Montenegro, Porto Novi and Luštica Bay) in the previous eight years, the number of yachts entering Montenegrin waters has doubled, there has been an increase in tourist consumption, higher collection of VAT and taxes, i.e. the need to employ more workers and the expansion of service capacities of marinas and other services", his announcement states.

"Nevertheless, I believe that this measure - the abolition of excise duties on fuel for yachts - will suffer the same fate as the economic citizenship program, that is, that the opponents of the program until yesterday will become the biggest advocates because they understood the concept of sustainable development and the need to attract foreign investments", concludes Klikovac in his announcement.
