Montenegro's President Jakov Milatović arrived in Kazakhstan over the weekend for the first state visit by a Montenegrin head of state to the Central Asian country, with talks focused on expanding cooperation in transport and logistics.
At a meeting with Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, the Montenegrin side highlighted the Central Asian nation's role as a logistical hub between Europe and Asia.
The country is a key transit point along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR).
Given Montenegro's strategic location on the Adriatic coast, the two sides discussed the possibility of integrating the Port of Bar into the TITR network.
While no formal agreement was announced, officials said such cooperation could eventually contribute to the development of a multimodal transport corridor connecting Central Asia with southern and central Europe.
