Montenegro has asked Croatia to increase the quota of bilateral permits so that the economy and international road transport can function smoothly, the Transport Administration announced. They claim that the permit problem will be resolved "as soon as possible."
"The Transport Administration has undertaken everything within its jurisdiction and in May informed the competent institutions about the need to resolve this issue. An increase in the quota of bilateral permits has been requested so that the economy and international road transport can function smoothly," the statement reads.
They indicate that bilateral permits are exchanged every year, and that, when the quotas are nearing their end, requests for additional permits are made.
"In accordance with bilateral agreements, the competent departments on both the Montenegrin and Croatian sides are taking everything within their jurisdiction to resolve this problem as soon as possible," the Transport Administration added.
Montenegro, they said, has 7.000 bilateral permits available annually, and they say they are trying to increase these quotas so that the economy and international road transport can function smoothly.
"Negotiations regarding this issue are being led by the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the problem will be resolved as soon as possible," the statement reads.
