Gastronomic journey around Montenegro

Hidden in the heart of Europe, Montenegro is a small country, which is ready to surprise you with a national cuisine and dishes that until now you maybe haven’t had the opportunity to taste. Whether you are a gourmet or not, if you choose sea specialties or some of the traditional Montenegrin dishes, you will definitely not remain indifferent. You can feel the taste in one day - in three meals.

Traditional Montenegrin dishes that we recommend you to try:

1. Njeguska prsuta and dried cheese

The most famous traditional Montenegrin appetizer is certainly a Njeguska prsuta, served with Njeguski sir (dried cheese), olives and homemade brandy or wine (Crnogorski Vranac, Vranac Procorde, Crnogorski Cabarnet, Crnogorski Merlot, Vranac Barik, Premijer, Medun). 
The secret of a unique and recognizable taste lies in good preparation, drying high-quality meat for several months.

2. Priganice

The simplicity of taste and ease of combining with different foodstuffs are the characteristics of one of the most favorite specialties that resist the time - priganice. These soft ˝balls˝ are prepared from dough, fried in deep oil. It is traditionally served with homemade honey or jam, and can also be served as a salty dish, along with cheese.

3. Kacamak

Kacamak is a creamy, high-calorie dish made of potato and wheat or corn flour, whose taste is complemented by cheese and cream added in the end. The ideal combination with kacamak is homemade sour milk.

4. Meat under the ˝sac˝

The ˝sac˝ is the oldest method for preparing traditional food, where meat (veal, lamb, octopus, fish) and vegetables are placed under the metal cover. All this is covered with charcoal and ash, so that the meal is baked evenly and saves the flavor.

5. Japraci

The japraci are a Montenegrin variant of ˝sarma˝ prepared with meat and rice filling, wrapped in rastan (vegetable with hard green leaves) or vine leaves. This extraordinarily nutritious meal is cooked with dried meat, so it gets a fantastic flavor.

6. Black risotto

If you’re a lover of seafood and risotto, this dish is the right choice for you. The risotto is a specific black color obtained from the octopus ink. This delicious specialty can be enriched with a glass of white wine (Crnogorski Krstač, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Podgoričko bijelo).

7. Octopus salad

Octopus salad is also a popular dish in Montenegrin coastal restaurants. The availability of fresh octopus in Montenegro is what makes this salad special. Cooked meat of octopus is cut into pieces and seasoned, and usually combined with boiled potatoes, onion, tomatoes and olives.

8.Barbun

White fish with the unique taste is one of the most famous fish of the Adriatic. Although it is rather forgotten, its exceptional aroma and taste will satisfy all your senses.

9. Fish soup

If you’re a soup-lover, we recommend you to try the traditional fish soup. This thick and spicy soup is prepared with several types of fish, with the addition of tomato sauce and paprika.

10. Dried carp

The traditional meal of the Skadar Lake residents is smoked dry carp, which is served as the main dish with various additions like a boiled potato, onion and parsley. You must try this dish if you find yourself in Montenegro.

2. Priganice

Jednostavnost ukusa i lakoća kombinovanja sa različitim namirnicama, odlike su jednog od najdražih specijaliteta koje odolijeva vremenu – priganice.

3. Kačamak

Kačamak je kašasto, visoko kalorično jelo od krompira i pšeničnog ili kukuruznog brašna, čiji ukus upotpunjuju sir i kajmak koji se dodaju na kraju. Idealna kombinacija uz kačamak je domaće kisjelo mlijeko.

4. Meso ispod sača

Sač je najstarija metoda za pripremu tradicionalne hrane, pri čemu se pod metalni poklopac (sač) stavlja meso (teletina, jagnjetina, jaretina, hobotnica, riba) i povrće. Sve to se prekriva žarom i pepelom, kako bi se jelo ravnomjerno ispeklo i sačuvalo aromu.

5. Japraci

Japraci su Crnogorska varijanta sarmi pripremljena sa nadjevom od mesa i pirinča, zavijenog u listove raštana ili vinove loze. Ovo izuzetno hranljivo jelo, kuva se sa suvim mesom, pa tako dobija fantastičnu aromu.

7. Salata od hobotnice

Salata od hobotnice je takođe popularno jelo u crnogorskim primorskim restoranima. Dostupnost svježe hobotnice u Crnoj Gori je ono što čini ovo jelo posebnim. Kuvano meso hobotnice isjeckano je na komade i začinjeno, a obično se kombinuje uz kuvani krompir, luk i peršun.

Za fantastičan pogled i nevjerovatnu panoramu Bokokotorskog zaliva posjetite tvrđavu Svetog Ivana (ven. San Giovanni).

Centralno mjesto za žurke i sjajan provod u ovom dijelu crnogorskog primorja je diskoteka Maximus, gdje gostuju neke od najvećih zvijezda svjetske klubske muzike.

Što se tiče plaža u ovom dijelu bokokotorskog zaliva preovladavaju betonske ponte.

Neki od najekskluzivnijih restorana crnogorskog primorja gdje možete uživati u ribljim specijalitetima, mediteranskoj kuhinji kao i tradicionalnim crnogorskim jelima, nalaze se u Bokokotorskom zalivu. Izdvajamo: Ćatovića mlini, Stari mlini, Galion, Verige65.

Sidrište: Ukoliko ste odlučili da posjetite kotorski zaliv evo podataka gdje možete usidriti Vaše plovilo:
- 1 milju sjeverozapadno od crkve Sv. Stasije (naselje Dobrota), na dubini od 30m;
- jugozapadno ili sjeverno od crkve Sv. Matije (naselje Dobrota), na dubini od oko 16m; 
- zapadno-sjeverozapadno od lučkog svijetla u Luci Kotor, dubina oko 16m;
- u mjestu Prčanj koji se nalazi na zapadnoj obali Kotorskog zaliva, po jugu se može sidriti bliže obali. Tvrdo muljevito dno.

Perast

Na 5 nm od marine Kotor, nalazi se mali ribarski grad Perast. Glavna obilježja ovog grada su nestvarna ostrva Gospa od Škrpjela i Sveti Đorđe, koja na prvi pogled ostavljaju utisak kao da plutaju na morskoj površini.
Perast
Sidrište: Sidri se ispred samog grada. Za vrijeme bure najbezbjednije je sidriti bliže istočnoj strani Perasta, a kada je jugo bliže zapadnoj strani, na početku Risanskog zaliva.

Risan

Najstarije naselje u Boki udaljeno je 6,8 nm od Kotora. Jedan je od najvećih arheoloških lokaliteta u Crnoj Gori, u kom se nalaze mozaici iz Rimskog perioda nastali krajem 2. i početkom 3. vijeka nove ere.

Sidrište: U ovom dijelu Bokokotorskog zaliva najbezbjednije se usidriti ispred luke Risan. Zbog tvrdog mulja dno drži dobro ukoliko vjetar duva sa juga, a za vrijeme bure prilikom sidrenja preporučuje se obaranje dva sidra.

Čarter izazovi u 2018


Na samom početku nove sezone bukinga za ljeto 2018. godine Grčka je uvela novi zakon koji radikalno ograničava broj jahti koje će moći da obavljaju čarter djelatnost u njenim vodama.
U većini Evropskih zemalja (Crna Gora je jedna od njih) komercijalne jahte mogu da obavljaju svoju djelatnost ukoliko plate porez na dotatu vrijednost te zemlje. Grčka od početka ove godine zahtijeva da komercijalne jahte imaju Grčku čarter licencu kada obavljaju djelatnost u Grčkim vodama. Da bi dobili ovu licencu od čarter kompanije se traži da otvori kancelariju u Grčkoj, da ima direktora i otvoren račun za plaćanje poreza na dodatu vrijednost. Iskustvo kompanija koje su ovo odradile govori da je to dugotrajan i mučan proces koji može trajati i do godinu dana (Izvor: superyachtinvestor.com).


Dodatno, komercijalnim jahtama koje nisu registrovane u zemljama Evropske unije je potpuno onemogućeno da dobiju licencu, što znači da u Grčkoj ne mogu poslovati legalno. Do kraja 2017. ove jahte su mogle da ukrcaju ili iskrcaju putnike u Atini, to im je sad onemogućeno, i one će moći samo da prolaze kroz Grčku, bez toga da njihovi klijenti imaju kontakt sa Grčkom obalom. Ovo je značajan udar na čarter industriju, obzirom da dvije trećine komercijalnih jahti nisu registrovane u zemljama Evropske unije.


Prošle godine smo imali novi francuski zakon koji zahtijeva da sva posada bez obzira na zemlju porijekla plaća socijalnu zaštitu u Francuskoj ukoliko borave duže od dva mjeseca , što je imalo značajnih negativnih posledica po njenu jahting industriju. Od početka ove godine Registar brodova Kajmanskih Ostrva je objavio da jahte od 24 metra i više koje su registrovane kao privatne, mogu da traže sertifikat koji im omogućuje da povremeno mogu da budu čarterovane. Sertifikat se zove Jahte uključene u trgovinu (Yacht engaged in trade YET), i omogućava privatnim jahtama da budu komercijalne 82 dana od godine, u Evropskim vodama, a to je sad ograničeno na Francusku i Monako.

Kajmanska ostrva imaju iskustvo od Republike Maršalskih Ostrva koja je ovaj program počela da sprovodi u 2015. godini. U početku je bilo zakonskih nedoumica oko ostvarivanja ovakvog programa, ali protok vremena i iskustvo su pokazali da je uspješan. Da bi posjedovala YET licencu jahta treba da zadovoljava standarde sigurnosti i održavanje komercijalne jahte, koji su znatno strožiji od standarda za privatne jahte. Ovo se ispostavilo da uopšte nije problem, jer i privatne jahte imaju jako visoke standarde održavanja i sigurnosti. Ovaj sertifikat otklanja potrebu promjene registracije sa privatne na komercijalnu i obrnuto. Slučajevi da vlasnik jahte treba da potpisuje ugovor o čarteru kada koristi jahtu za svoje potrebe, a ona ima licencu za čarter je na ovaj način izbjegnut, kao i potreba da se izlazi iz voda Evropske unije kada treba promijeniti registraciju. Korisnici ove licence nemaju pravo na niže cijene i poreske olakšice kada se snabdijevaju gorivom i namirnicama. Ovo će sigurno povoljno uticati na jahting industriju u Francuskoj.

Što se Crne Gore tiče, kod nas su zakoni ostali nepromjenjeni. Porez na dodatu vrijednost za usluge u marinama je ostao na skromnih 7%, dok stopa na čartere i gorivo ne podliježe porezu i carini, iznosi 0%, zbog čega je gorivo jeftinije i do 45% u odnosu na maloprodajne cijene. Sve međunarodno priznate licence kod nas važe. I dalje su svi dobrodošli poticali iz zemalja Evropske unije ili iz bilo kog drugog kraja svijeta. Radujemo se početku nove ljetne sezone i otvaranju nove marine Luštica Bay. Intenzivno radimo na unapređivanju svih uslužnih djelatnosti. Uvijek smo spremni za saradnju. Za sva pitanja koja imate, a koja će Vam pomoći da lakše donesete odluke za čarter, možete se obratiti Yacht Agent Montenegro timu.
