At its 126th session on 14 May 2026, the Montenegrin Cabinet adopted the Spatial Planning Programme for 2026, enacted pursuant to Article 10 of the Law on Spatial Planning. The Programme assesses the need to prepare new planning documents and amend existing ones under the principles of balanced urbanisation and sustainable spatial development, giving priority to areas not yet covered by detailed planning. It sets the dynamics of spatial planning, measures for preparing planning documents, sources of financing, deadlines and operational steps, plus an overview of documents currently in preparation and those planned.
For buyers weighing land or off-plan exposure on the coast - the Bay of Kotor, Tivat and Luštica - plan status determines what can be permitted, so the Programme is effectively the year's map of where undefined sites move toward buildable detailed plans. Watch which coastal zones enter the 2026 drafting list.
