Tourist Potentials of the Rural Settlement Vranještica

The rural settlement of Vranjetica is located in the northeastern part of Montenegro (Kolain municipality). It extends in the zone 42 47 09 "north latitude and 19 37 35" east longitude. It borders the rural settlements of Reine in the west, Gnjili Potok in the southeast and Bare Kraljske in the south. It is located at an altitude of 1519 m and covers an area of 2.480 hectares.The traffic-geographical position of the rural settlement of Vranjestica is unfavorable, because it is located far from the main roads. Except for the road Andrijevica -Trenjevik -Mateevo -Kolain, no other important road intersects or touches this rural settlement. Vranjetica is 44.6 km from Berane, 29.6 km from Andrijevica and 11.2 km from Mateevo. Isolated traffic-geographical position adversely affects its economic and social development. The paper discusses the natural and social benefits for tourism development. The results of the research indicate that without greater economic potential in this settlement, there is no wider existential base of the population.Bearing in mind that the studied geo-area has a predominantly agricultural population, agriculture should, all the more so, play its undoubtedly large and notable role in future economic development. Tourism as an additional source of income for the inhabitants of Vranjetica could certainly improve their quality of life.
