Hi Mala, Do you know when this service is going to start? Found the article below but it means nothing to me  David ------------------------------------------------------------------- USKORO AUTOBUSNA LINIJA IZMEðU HRVATSKE I CRNE GORE Izmeðu Hrvatske i Crne Gore uskoro æe se, nakon desetak godina, uspostaviti redovita autobusna linija, a nakon što je riješeno i pitanje ukradene aerodromske opreme, zapoèet æe suradnja izmeðu zraènih luka Tivat i Dubrovnik. To je u ponedjeljak dogovoreno u Podgorici tijekom razgovora ministra vanjskih poslova Miomira Žužula i premijera Crne Gore Mila Ðukanoviæa. Takoðer je zakljuèeno da su odnosi izmeðu Hrvatske i Crne Gore zadovoljavajuæi te da napreduju, posebice kada su u pitanju nacionalne manjine u objema državama. Nakon razgovora s predsjednikom Crne Gore Filipom Vujanoviæem i predsjednikom crnogorskog parlamenta Rankom Krivokapiæem, ministar Žužul, u pratnji dubrovaèke gradonaèelnice Dubravke Šuice i hrvatskoga konzula u Kotoru Pera Poljaniæa, razgovarao je s Ðukanoviæem o bilateralnim pitanjima u odnosima Hrvatske i Crne Gore s posebnim naglaskom na probleme manjina. »Došli smo s jasnim stavom Hrvatske o unapreðenju odnosa sa Crnom Gorom. Hrvatska se nalazi u povijesnom trenutku i ne sumnjamo da æemo 17. ili 18. dobiti toèan datum poèetka pregovora za ulazak u EU. No, to ne znaèi da æemo izaæi iz regije te nam je razvijanje dobrih odnosa sa susjedima itekako važno jer Hrvatska na ovom podruèju želi zadržati i pojaèati svoju gospodarsku, politièku i društvenu prisutnost«, istaknuo je Žužul dodajuæi da æe Hrvatska Crnoj Gori i BiH pružiti potporu u procesu pridruživanja EU, a posebno za ulazak u program Partnerstvo za mir. »Otuðena oprema dubrovaèkog aerodroma više nije problem u našim odnosima jer je rješenje veæ pronaðeno i èeka samo konkretnu provedbu«, naglasio je Žužul. »Multietniènost i multikulturalnost predstavljaju najvažniju legitimaciju suvremenog crnogorskog i hrvatskog društva«, kazao je meðu ostalim crnogorski premijer Milo Ðukanoviæ dodajuæi da je govoreæi o dobrim o bilateralnim odnosima izmeðu Crne Gore i Hrvatske imao u vidu specifiènost pozicije Crne Gore u okviru zajednièke države SCG te potrebu hrvatske vlade i njezine vanjske politike da izgradi odnose s Beogradom kao središtem te državne zajednice. Hrvatsko je izaslanstvo prije dolaska u Podgoricu posjetilo Cetinje. |

I went to Montenegro two weeks ago.. Buses?? ;D The one I used was like in cowboy movies and it did not make a break for 5 hours!! Hell for chain smokers like me.. especially when the driver smokes constantly ..let alone going to toilet.. ;D I asked them on the end if this was the way they are going to Europe - they said I should have come and sit next to the driver if I wanted to smoke.. One more thing: You have to cross the border on foot. Coming to Dubrovnik felt like stepping into a heaven of whiteness. I heard this contract for bus service between SCG and Croatia wasn't possible because a vacancy for service has to be announced on SCG country board and then only big couch companies from SCG can apply. Looks like a long process to me.. On the other side I liked the trip – all the people I met were very nice.. Sveti Stefan was fantactic..like a dream |

Hi Anja,
Do you happen to know how many buses made the return journey to Dubrovnik per day and what times? I'm down in Budva in a couple of weeks time and i've struggled to find any information on timetables :-(
Thanks
David

What ever are you going to Budva for David? Sweaty Steven is much nicer  Seriously some of the accommodation in Budva is a bit grotty, more like Butlins of the 60's If you get chance go inland to the mountains and the Tara canyons. If you want any contact details or info just let me know. Sandra in the office is a Montenegro expert. |

I'm down in Budva in a couple of weeks time and i've struggled to find any information on timetables :-( Thanks David I do not know about Budva but it was only one bus per day to the border for me: - I cought it in Bar at 11.20 am. When you get to the border it is better to share a cab to Dubrovnik if possible - 40 EURO for four people while the bus is 8 EURO per person.. plus you have to wait for an hour or so for the bus to Dubrovnik once you reach the border. |
