- I see that there is a huge interest of Ukrainian citizens to come to Montenegro during the summer. I am very glad that the fair was successfully organized, over 30 countries are present. I am glad that three Ukrainian airlines will start with 12 flights a week to Montenegro from various Ukrainian cities from June 1. I hear that Montenegro is one of the favorite destinations of Ukrainians. We had a pretty good presentation. I am sure that Montenegro will be one of the favorite destinations of Ukrainian citizens this summer as well - said Djurovic.
Svetlana Tomković, manager in the National Tourism Organisation, said that the attendance of the Montenegrin stand at the fair was extremely high.
- What makes our visitors especially happy are the open air connections to Montenegro. Also, they do not need a visa to come to us, nor a PCR test. All this gives us the right to have positive forecasts for the season - said Tomkovic.
