Outstanding obligations involving former industrial and tourism companies in Montenegro are again being addressed through parliamentary reviews, compensation claims and scrutiny of property sales. A parliamentary commission has returned to the privatisation of HTP Boka, later Vektra Boka, with a proposed working body intended to address concerns surrounding the disposal of the company’s remaining property.
Former employees are continuing to pursue claims connected with the social programme established in connection with the company’s sale. The claims have brought employee obligations and the handling of remaining assets into the same public discussion. A separate working group is expected to establish which former Primorka employees are eligible to receive payments for outstanding claims.
At KAP, 464 former employees are seeking compensation from the housing fund by the end of 2026, instead of waiting for the statutory deadline in 2029. The amount reported as necessary for the payments is approximately €2.5 million, with compensation calculated at €177 for each year of qualifying service. Property-related claims have also emerged in another case. C-Promet Cetinje has warned potential bidders to examine litigation connected with the Development Bank’s planned sale of property in Humci.
The cases involve separate legal bases and different claims. They nevertheless concern outstanding rights and obligations that can affect the handling of assets and payments associated with former companies. Before assets are sold or compensation is scheduled, buyers and public authorities need to establish the parties holding enforceable rights and the obligations attached to individual transactions. Unresolved claims therefore remain relevant to the timing and value of legacy asset disposals.
