The decision to abolish visas for citizens of Bahrain is a significant impetus for investments and further development of tourism in Montenegro, it was assessed during a meeting between Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and the country's delegation on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"The first concrete steps towards improving cooperation between Montenegro and Bahrain were recorded just two months after Spajić's official visit to Manama," it was announced after the meeting.
During the meeting between Spajić and the Bahraini delegation led by the Minister of Finance and National Economy Salman bin Khalifa and the President of the Labor Fund (Tamkeen) Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, it was announced that Bahraini citizens will not need visas to come to Montenegro.
This, they assessed, should have positive implications for the Montenegrin economy, considering that there is significant interest in visiting and investing in Montenegro.
"In this context, intensive work is already underway to connect the two countries via air route," the government announced.
During Spajić's visit to Bahrain in November last year, which was also the first visit at the highest level since the establishment of diplomatic relations, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Tamkeen Fund, on the basis of which activities on labor market diversification and additional training of the workforce in Montenegro will begin in the first half of this year.
"The retraining and training provided by the Tamkeen Fund have completely changed our labor market. As many as 95 percent of Bahrainis who now work in the private sector have undergone Tamkeen training, which best demonstrates the benefits for the domestic economy. We will be happy to share our experiences and knowledge in this area with Montenegro. Your visit to Manama was a key step in strengthening cooperation between our two countries," said Isa bin Salman.
During the meeting, they also discussed opportunities for Bahraini investors to come to Montenegro, which, they assessed, could generate a strengthening of economic cooperation between the two countries.
"Many of our companies are seriously considering investing and expanding their business. We are particularly careful in choosing countries, but we consider Montenegro a reliable partner. The abolition of visas will undoubtedly have a positive impact in this regard," said Salman bin Khalifa.
The meeting assessed that the announced visit of the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, to Montenegro will give strength
