Montenegro does not need an airport concessionaire, following the announcement of the opening of a Wizz Air base in Podgorica, announced the president of the representative union of Podgorica Airport, Slobodan Martinović.

Martinović said that the announcement of the opening of the Wizz Air base in Podgorica and 14 new routes is "a topic in every Montenegrin home and the news of the year."

"In this way, Montenegrin airports have almost 'fired' every possible concessionaire. We hope that both the Government and the tender commission will hear and understand this message. Because we know that concessionaire = (equal) the shutdown of all low-cost lines. No one can allow that in this country, after the announcement of the opening of the Wizz base in Podgorica," Martinović said in a statement.

He explained that just this one announcement from one airline means that close to a million more passengers are expected.

"Our colleagues are worthy of this task. We will work a third shift if necessary," said Martinović.

According to him, the citizens of Montenegro must know that someone must professionally welcome and escort all those planes and passengers.

"We want all of Montenegro to know that we can do it," Martinović emphasized.

This management, he said, should be given support to continue developing air accessibility.

He said that union representatives are here and are waiting for a fair agreement regarding the status of employees and working conditions, given the new circumstances that mean much more work and effort.

"Despite the fact that we fully support the management, the representative union will closely monitor its moves and point out any decisions that are not in the interests of the employees. We are a key component in achieving this great common goal," concluded Martinović.
