In an atmosphere marked by discussions on investment, development, and the future of the region, the RE:D Montenegro 2026 conference brought together leading investors and representatives of the real estate industry from the region and around the world on May 13 and 14 in Budva. Among the participants was Mr. Adnan Bajramović, Co-owner and CEO of ALK Group, who spoke about the development of tourism, infrastructure, and long-term investments in Montenegro.
“When we started our operations in Montenegro in 2021, we essentially began from scratch. Today, ALK Group is developing more than 100,000 square meters through projects in tourism, hospitality, and real estate, including projects under globally recognized hotel brands such as Radisson Blu and Radisson Collection,” said Adnan Bajramović.
Among the projects with the potential to contribute to extending the tourist season, a special place is held by the new congress center in Budva. It is envisioned as a venue that would further position Montenegro as a destination for business events, conferences, and congresses throughout the year, including during the winter months.
Infrastructure as the Foundation of Progress
During the panel discussion, one topic emerged as a shared conclusion among all participants: major investment projects cannot develop without a stable business environment and investment in infrastructure.
Speaking about the future of Montenegro, Adnan Bajramović emphasized that investment development must be accompanied by the development of infrastructure capable of meeting the needs of modern tourism and the real estate market. He particularly highlighted the need to improve airports and establish a higher-quality road network, noting that transport connectivity must keep pace with the region’s development.
As he stated, the development of tourism and real estate can no longer be viewed separately from utilities and infrastructure solutions, as these are precisely the factors that determine the long-term sustainability and quality of the destination itself.
A Strategic View of the Future: Montenegro’s EU Perspective and Its Impact on the Region
Adnan Bajramović of ALK Group points out that challenges in the investment environment are similar everywhere and are faced by all those involved in investment and development processes.
According to him, the success of projects largely depends on whether investors are involved in all stages of development. He particularly emphasizes the importance of even the smallest details, as they often determine the quality and long-term sustainability of a project.
In a broader context, Bajramović particularly highlighted Montenegro’s European perspective, assessing that its progress toward European Union membership carries significance beyond national borders. According to him, such a step could serve as a strong incentive for other Western Balkan countries as well, potentially accelerating their path toward European integration.
As he stated, he is convinced that Montenegro’s accession to the European Union would further accelerate the enlargement process across the entire region, while stressing the need to continue consistent work and the implementation of already initiated goals that lead toward long-term development and stability.
Connecting Tourism, Infrastructure, and Long-Term Investment
This year’s RE:D Montenegro 2026 conference showed that investor interest in the region continues to grow, with an increasing focus on projects that connect tourism, infrastructure, and sustainable development.
For ALK Group, the conference was an opportunity to present its current projects in Montenegro, but also to showcase a broader vision for the development of tourism and real estate through modern models such as the condo concept. The company emphasizes that its focus is not only on results visible today, but on development that endures, supported by ALK Group’s emotional connection with Montenegro, which further shapes this approach.
