How one project could change a country

PODGORICA - Montenegro needs to build a strategic highway to further open up and modernize the country, said Veselin Vukotic, a former minister and currently rector of Montenegro's youngest private university, in a recent interview.

"Without dispute, the highway is a fundamental infrastructure facility that creates conditions for the opening and modernization of Montenegro," said Vukotic, who was also an economist before co-establishing the private University of Donja Gorica.

Better infrastructure could also boost the number of visitors to the country, Vukotic said, adding: "Now Montenegro has about one million tourists a year. That number can be much larger."
