The blockade of border crossings for freight traffic that began today, implemented by the Association of Transporters of Montenegro, will cause great damage to the operations of the Port of Bar, announced the company "Luka Bar" AD.

They pointed out that the blockade of the entrance to the Free Zone of the Port of Bar prevents the functioning and regular conduct of business not only of that company, but also of all companies operating in the port area, i.e. in the Free Zone.

"'Luka Bar' AD as the operator of the Free Zone has no mechanism to overcome this problematic situation, nor any influence on ending the blockade as soon as possible. Also, business losses are inevitable and difficult to recover, so on behalf of over 500 employees of the company 'Luka Bar' AD, as well as all others whose existence depends on port and maritime operations, we appeal for the blockade to last as short as possible and for efforts to be made to find a solution to overcome this situation," the statement reads.
