On Montenegro Statehood Day, July 13, will take place a working visit by Montenegro’s Prime Minister Dritan Abazović to the Kotor-Lovćen cable car complex on the occasion of the completion of the works just one year after the “laying of the first stone”.
“It is a privilege to be part of a project in a place overlooking one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It has been a challenging year for us; we brought to the final stage one of the most complex projects we have worked on, which, considering LEITNER’s experience and tradition, eloquently speaks to the characteristics of the area, extremely unfavorable weather conditions, the slope, the route length, and other difficulties that we managed to overcome. It is important for me to emphasize that we have implemented the most modern solutions guaranteeing safety and comfort in operation, as well as the fact that a cable car will soon be launched in Montenegro in an extremely attractive location, the construction of which, as well as safety checks and protocols, meet the highest global standards. All this, and especially the incredible natural beauty of Boka and Lovćen, prompted us to make the decision to acquire it, because we believe that it will be one of the most recognizable tourist attractions on the Adriatic and beyond,” said Martin Leitner, owner of the leading Italian company for the production and installation of “cable” transport systems — LEITNER.
External independent tests of the cable car structure are being carried out by the renowned company WPK Austria, accredited as an inspection and testing agency specializing in cable car technology and testing.
“Ahead of the planned visit by Prime Minister Dritan Abazović to the cable car on July 13, I would like to note that we are looking forward to this meeting, because our persistence and dedication are undeniable, but without the support of the government we would not have been able to complete a year-long project of such a level of complexity,” Leitner concludes.
He also added that the opening of the cable car for commercial rides is scheduled for the end of July, although it was previously reported that the cable car will be open to guests on July 13.
