2022

The focus of this chapter is the analysis of economic relations between Montenegro and China and the implications that the intensified economic cooperation may have on the political, regional, and global levels. Special attention is paid to the construction of the priority section of the Bar-Boljare highway and the financial arrangement concluded on those grounds between Montenegro and the Chinese Exim Bank. China's presence in the Western Balkans has gained importance recently through the Belt and Road Initiative project.

That can be crucial as Montenegro is facing economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and FDI inflows are a precondition to reduce the infrastructure gap within the convergence criteria in the EU accession process.

This paper aims to answer the key question regarding the development perspectives of the transition countries, “Can the...
