Montenegro is ensuring it has sound financing in place for the new Bar-Boljare highway that will link it with Serbia. The country has a €687 million loan in place for the project that was provided by China's Exim Bank. The country’s Ministry of Finance is setting out a strategy that will protect it from risk. The loan was provided (in US$) for a 20 year repayment period, with a grace period of six years.

The first stretch of the highway will be constructed by the China Road and Bridges Corporation (CRBC) company.
