Montenegro and the EIB

We support the development of safe, efficient and well‑connected transport systems in Montenegro. Our financing and advisory services focus on improving road, rail and air transport infrastructure, including key rail corridors such as the Bar–Podgorica–Vrbnica line and the Bar–Golubovci section, strengthening regional connectivity and supporting integration with European transport networks.

Strengthening water supply and wastewater services is a key priority for Montenegro’s sustainable development and environmental protection. The EIB Group supports these investments, working with the European Union through the Western Balkans Investment Framework, to improve living conditions and environmental outcomes.

The EIB Group supports small and medium‑sized enterprises in Montenegro by improving access to finance through partnerships with national promotional institutions and local banks, including cooperation with the Development Bank of Montenegro (RBCG). This support helps businesses invest, create jobs and grow, including through facilities dedicated to green investments that help companies adapt to changing market conditions.

We support the modernisation of the education system by upgrading and digitalising education infrastructure and improving accessibility and safety. This work is complemented by the Better Schools for All initiative, which aims to improve learning conditions, enhance teaching quality and strengthen digital skills, supporting equal opportunities and employability.

We equip healthcare institutions in Montenegro with modern medical technology, strengthening disease prevention and enhancing the healthcare system’s capacity to respond effectively to emergencies and patient needs.
