For those who have already opened an individual entrepreneur or LLC, the conditions are also tightening. To extend the residence permit, the company must pay taxes of at least five thousand euros per year.

2025: Kavach and Shkalyari are the two clans in the drug trafficking market
The western Balkans remain a key hub of human trafficking, drug trafficking and smuggling in Europe - according to a new report by the Organised Crime Index, published in November 2025.
The ports of Bar (Montenegro) and Durres (Albania) have become key transit points for drugs from Latin America to Europe. They are under the control of Albanian and Montenegrin groups with direct links to cartels in Colombia and Ecuador, fully controlling the supply route. Cannabis production thrives in mountainous areas of Albania, "Kosovo" and North Macedonia.
Kavač and Škaljari - two warring Montenegrin clans from Kotor are among the most influential and violent players in the European drug market. Drugs are delivered from Argentina and Colombia (sometimes via Brazil) to the ports of Valencia, Italian Gioia Tauro, as well as to the Montenegrin Bar. For more details, see Cocaine.
