‘MontAdria 2021’ Finally Takes Off in Montenegro

06.05.2021

There’s a newly formed touristic event that’s taking off in Montenegro, and the first regatta officially started last week in Tivat, with three small seaplanes, one gyrocopter and two ‘Cessna 172’ type planes flying over Porto Montenegro.
An international event designed to promote hydro-aviation, sports and culture it’s a huge step forward not only for the local area but also for Montenegro in general as it seeks new ways of attracting a more diverse range of tourists to its shores, especially those who are looking for something other than just a ‘beach’ holiday.
Called ‘MontAdria 2021’ it’s rather fitting that an event such as this should be started just a few hundred metres away fr om the place wh ere Austro-Hungarian seaplanes first flew over Tivat just before the start of World War One, and to mark the prestigious occasion the Interior State Secretary of Montenegro and the Deputy Director of the Civil Aviation Agency in Montenegro were in attendance to watch the spectacle.

The area of Tivat especially already has a history of hydro-aviation thanks to both Austro-Hungary and the old Kingdom of Yugoslavia who once had bases nearby. Boris Ciglic (an Aviation historian and publicist) who was at the event also pointed out, ‘The use of seaplanes for military purposes in Boka was massive during the First World War and Second World War. They were also used later on (though to a lesser extent) both for Military and Civil purposes’.

The VP of Tivat Municipality, Goran Bozovic, stated that ‘We are glad that we can connect our rich cultural and historical heritage with modern trends in our tourism and economy. We want this Seaplane Regatta to become the new flywheel of our economy and to contribute to the diversification of our tourist offerings’.

As things slowly start to return to normal in Montenegro, after the effects of the Covid pandemic it’s great to see the launch of a new event, and one that will bring a much needed boost to the businesses that rely on tourism to stay open, such as hotels, restaurants, and sites of historical interest, and given the success of this first event, it’s more than likely to return next year bigger and better!

Participants of the event will fly routes around the Bay of Kotor and Sveti Stefan, including through Skadar Lake, Podgorica, Niksic, Zabljak, Kolasin and Berane, so wherever you decide to visit in Montenegro, you’ll get to enjoy some, if not all of the regatta.

• In period May-August 2022 we sold our flats in St-Petersburg Russia and  have bought two  ones here in Montenegro, Becici. We decided to move here and make new home and business with my husband. Our agent Milica Zugic  is really became our angel - provider here in Montenegro. She is very reliable, responsible , professional  employee of CMM Budva department. She has developed intuition and found very fast necessary properties which we needed. Also she helped us to speed up the process of registration documents in MUP.( list nepokretnosti, etc). She was our real provider here. Very appreciated her and all staff of Budva department for there assistance. Separately to lawyer Ivan and his legal team. Very recommended choose Milica Zugic as real estate manager when you search for assistant in this complicated and important field as buying property in Montenegro.

• At the beginning of April 2022, our family living in Prague bought a house in Sutomore with the assistance of your company.
  Let me express my gratitude to the management of your company for the service provided, and especially to your employees - Anastasia Zeyak, Alexei Grachev and Elena Bozhovich for their attention, patience and even care for the whole time of buying real estate and the services provided after the purchase.
  I would really like all companies to work with the same quality of service. After coming into contact with this kind of attitude towards the client, all our environment, if necessary, will refer to your company only.
  With gratitude on behalf of our family.

• Based on my experience with CMM in Budva, Montenegro, I can say that they are reliable, fast, and they deliver what they promise. They take really good care of their clients. For instance, I was offered a lift from the airport, and they would take me back and forth from Tivat to Budva and Becici to see various properties. They would answer all of my questions and respond promptly. They have an excellent team: Katarina, Alexander, Natasha, Martin and some other guys whose names I don’t remember. Katarina, my wonderful agent, went to every length to help me find a perfect home. Unfortunately, my situation changed and I had to postpone my relocation to Montenegro.
  I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a property in Montenegro.

• We were introduced to CMM by friends who had already done research on Montenegro and CMM. We purchased our apartment in Dobrota, just outside Kotor, all remotely from South Africa, during the lockdown. Everything was seamless without any problems at all. All the CMM departments work together well from the sales team, head office, legal, interior design and rental department. Every detail was well communicated with an abundance of zoom meetings, videos, emails etc
  We are thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed working with the CMM team. They were incredibly professional.
  After sales service is also excellent as we move into the rental phase of the apartment and over all management of the apartment including maintenance.
  We have been directly and indirectly involved with many houses/apartments all over the world and this was the up there with the best service we have received.
  Thanks to everyone we dealt with at CMM it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. We look forward too many happy years working with you on our rental.

• Last year we decided to find a new home close to the sea. It was quite difficult in the beginning to make the right choice. Once we found CMM Company was a great luck! We immediately received detailed consultation on the country and purchase opportunities. Being attracted by Kotor - one of the most amazing parts of the coast, we decided to take a family trip and maybe make our dream of new home come true. As just discoverers of Montenegro, we were accepted like at home which was a one more pleasant surprise. The most important, we received all detailed information about country regions and procedure of buying property during the first few days. And how beautiful the car journeys were! Difficult choice, but when you find the home you want you can't refuse it. CMM did best to help us with this finding! All the purchase procedure passed well with CMM professional work! Now we are happy owners of a wonderful house with a Kotor bay view, being perfectly served by CMM Management company (of course, we've chosen CMM as professional house manager). Hope our friends and relatives would also move to Montenegro with the CMM help soon !!!
