The Secretariat for Economy of the Municipality of Tivat informs entrepreneurs and legal entities registered to perform craft activities within the territory of the Municipality of Tivat that the electronic Craftsmen Register has been established and is now operational.

The Craftsmen Register represents a public, electronically maintained database of craftsmen operating within the territory of Montenegro, with the aim of establishing a unified, centralized, and up-to-date record in the field of craftsmanship.

In accordance with the amendments to the Law on Crafts (“Official Gazette of Montenegro” No. 54/09, 64/09, 40/11, 84/24 and 89/25), adopted in July 2025, craftsmen are obliged to submit an application for registration to the Chamber of Crafts of Montenegro within three months from the date of the establishment of the Register (March 1, 2026).

The registration procedure in the Register is carried out via the official application link: http://registarzanatlija.gov.me/.

For simpler and more efficient submission of the application detailed user manual is also available with very clear guidelines, and the application submission fee is to be paid to the Municipality of Tivat account number 510-9146777-39.

Based on the amendments to the Law on Olive Growing and Olive Oil (“Official Gazette of Montenegro”, Nos. 45/14, 39/16, 84/24, and 92/25), local governments are now required to maintain a Register of Olive Trees.

To establish an accurate and up-to-date record, the Municipality of Tivat notifies all owners and users of olive groves that they are obliged to register their olive trees in the Register of Olive Trees.

Application forms are available on the official website of the Municipality of Tivat as well as at the competent authority for agricultural affairs. Upon registration, each olive tree will be recorded and assigned a unique identification number, which must be permanently and visibly displayed on the tree.

Registration in the Register is an important step for improving the record of olive plantations, preserving olive-growing traditions, and planning support and development measures for olive growing in the municipality.

All olive growers are encouraged to respond promptly to this call and register their olive trees.
