Six US companies have expressed interest in Montenegro's section of the Adriatic-Ionian infrastructure corridor, the Montenegrin government said on 24 September, according to SeeNews. The firms were not named in the retrieved statement summary. [1]
The government describes an integrated project comprising about 127 kilometres of planned motorway between the Croatian and Albanian borders, a planned 94-kilometre Montenegrin section of the Ionian-Adriatic gas pipeline and telecommunications infrastructure. It values the motorway component at about €2.8 billion. [1]
ContextThe companies responded to an August invitation issued by the public works ministry and the US embassy. Their interest does not constitute a procurement award, financing commitment or construction decision; the report also says one US company expressed interest in a separate cargo-scanning and border-control modernisation project.
