Hi serina82,

Good luck for your project

Please feel free to ask any specific questions.

Thank you,

For example...
what do you think about my project...
what do I have to expect from budva and tq plaza (I Always come there in the wrong season and it seems a desert, I'm very worried about it..)
where can I find furniture for the shop and saleswomen... I think they should speak russian at least...
what about permit of stay (i will not work in the shop I have only the right to stay there and manage it)

thank you so much

Hi Serina,
Well, Im' not so familiar with Budva because I live in Tivat, but TQ Plaza should be a good place for that. Indeed there are a lot of people in the high season (May-September) and it is quite empty the winter because Budva is indeed a resort town...
Did you commit on 1 year lease or less? When do you plan to open the shop?
For the sales woman, you can post a listing in the local "Tender Oglasi". Word-of-mouth is very powerful in Montenegro so ask every person that you meet about this. Russian would be a must for Budva.

You should be careful about the residence issue, as it is not so flexible as it used to be. If you are the director of your company, you can get a residence permit based on that.

For furniture, please contact me directly as I can probably help. as I've had most of the furniture of the apartments I'm building custom made (library / shelving, table, doors, bed....), which ends up being of higher quality and better price that if you go in furniture shops. Check some pieces here http://deko.catareos.com/ but you must count about 60 days for production usually.

I hope I helped a little.

1 year passed...
and I'm still in Italy 
Unfortunately I had some huge changes in my italian business so I had to disregard my project in Montenegro.
We are in October so I think it's completely senseless to open during winter...
In February I will come again in Budva and absolutely and definitely start working for my new shop 

Last time my lawyer told me that even Tivat should be a great place for an italian brands shop: someone should confirm that? I saw some pictures on internet and Porto Montenegro seems so luxury and chic... someone has an idea about renting prices (for shop not house)?

thank you all
have a nice day!
