Ulcinj Riviera Faces €420,000 Loss Amid Shareholder Dispute

Montenegro’s iconic tourism firm faces financial challenges amid legal and shareholder disputes

Ulcinj Riviera, a prominent player in Montenegro’s tourism industry, has suffered a financial hit of over €420,000 following a 2019 court ruling in favor of Atlas Fund, a minority shareholder that transferred its rights to Quantum Investments. 

This development adds another layer to an ongoing legal conflict rooted in disputes over the management and financial direction of the company.

The disagreement traces back to 2017 when Atlas Fund opposed a long-term lease of Ulcinj Riviera’s assets, including its hotels leased to Karisma. 

Minority shareholders exercised their right to sell shares at €10.5 each, but the company’s precarious financial state rendered this impossible. In an effort to stabilize the firm, the Montenegrin government injected €2.2 million in 2017, acquiring an 11.87% stake. However, a 2019 debt-to-equity swap increased the government’s share to 22%.

Despite these interventions, grievances among minority shareholders persisted, culminating in the court-ordered financial outflow. This case highlights the complexities of Montenegro’s economic environment, where government efforts to support struggling businesses often clash with shareholder rights.

For Ulcinj Riviera, this marks more than just a financial setback; it underscores the challenges of balancing state intervention with private sector interests in Montenegro’s evolving economic landscape.
