University of Montenegro Podgorica, Montenegro mladjogogic@yahoo.com Summary Detailed Spatial Plan of the corridor of Bar-Boljare highway in Montenegro (hereinafter: Plan) is a long-term development document, encompassing time span until 2020. It defines bases of long-term spatial organisation and regulation not only in narrow vicinity of highway, but also in a wider area gravitating to the highway corridor. The Plan defines state goals as well as actions and activities in urban development, all in accordance with overall economical, social, ecological and cultural development and needs of Montenegro. The Plan contains: general and specific goals; long-term Plan solutions for organisation, regulation and protection of corridor area; actions and instructions for application and realisation of Plan solutions.

Significance and position of infrastructural corridor Spatial Plan of Montenegro recognises infrastructural corridors in which several primary infrastructural systems are spatially connected. The first and the most important infrastructural corridor in the Spatial Plan of Montenegro is the corridor Bar-Podgorica-Mateševo-Andrijevica-Berane-Boljare, where several primary infrastructural systems are connected. 2. Range and boundaries of Detailed Spatial Plan The Detailed Spatial Plan encompasses the area of infrastructural corridor of Bar-Boljare highway (from Adriatic coast to the border with Serbia). The area of Detailed Spatial Plan encompasses the area of approximately 1400 km 2 , along about 170 km, comprising more than 100 cadastre municipalities, which make parts of territory of 7 municipalities. 3. Importance and functions that infrastructural systems in the highway corridor have for spatial integration Bar-Boljare highway and its importance should prevailingly be considered as a part of the corridor of Belgrade - South Adriatic highway. Within network of international, i.e. E roads, corridor of Bar- Boljare road joins into basic route of E roads, marked E-80, or E-65, that provide connections with Italy. The mentioned route, along its Montenegrin section, belongs to the corridor of Bar-Boljare highway. It is the most important strategic corridor within the traffic system of Montenegro. Construction of the highway encourages development of the areas that it passes through, providing safe, high quality and fast conducting of traffic assignments in the gravitating area. Also, with all its included facilities, highway contributes to development of the surrounding areas through newly emerged activities and service taxes.
