Montenegro with More Restrictions for Tourists Balkan Travellers 22 April 2008 | Montenegro is now putting restrictions on the amount of food and alcohol that tourists can bring into the country, after it recently put in place an ecological tax for entering vehicles. According to media reports, tourists going into Montenegro can bring in one kilogram of food products, including tea, coffee, spices, fruits and vegetables, one litre of alcohol, two litres of wine and five litres of water. All products must be in their original packaging and their import must be declared. Recently, the country also put in place an ecological tax for entering vehicles, as BalkanTravellers.com reported last week. Recent reports say that automobiles are to be charged 10 euro, vans – 30 euro, vehicles heavier than five tons – 50 euro and trucks – 50 euro. A third restriction, reported by the Bulgarian Darik radio is the ban of Russian planes from landing on Montenegro’s airports. As BalkanTravellers.com reported at the beginning of April, the move was considered because of the disruptive high-frequency noise produced by two types of Russian aircrafts around Montenegro’s coastal city of Tivat. www.balkantravellers.com/en/read/article/523

^ Do bad your pay back won't work.
Food and drink limits should not deter Serbian tourists Friday, 25 April 2008 14:26 !Serbian tourists are not expected to boycott Montenegro because of food and beverage import limits. The restrictions, announced by the Ministry of Tourism and Environmental Protection, are expected to mainly effect Serbian tourists. But Montenegrin officials do not expect this measure to have a major impact on the upcoming tourist season even though Serbia represents the largest market in the Montenegrin tourism industry. Assistant to Montenegro's Minister of Tourism, Nebojša Popoviæ, said he does not expect Serbian tourists to revolt and boycott Montenegro. “This measure prohibits the import of food whose quality is difficult to control”, he said. All food products in Montenegro are controlled and their origins are known. “Our aim is to avoid possible consequences on health which could create an image of Montenegrin food being bad.” When asked whether this decision might divert Serbian tourists to other destinations, primarily to Greece where no such laws exist, he said: “Each year, Montenegrin tourism is improving which is why we do not expect a decline in tourists from Serbia this year. Some estimates say their number will increase by 20 or 30% compared to last year.”
