The resolution emphasizes the importance of Alabama's international exports as a key driver of the state's economy and highlights the strategic significance of the Port of Bar in Montenegro as a gateway to the Balkan peninsula. It advocates for enhancing the trade relationship between Alabama and Montenegro, particularly through the Port of Bar, which is undergoing a transformation towards privatization. The resolution suggests that increased cooperation could not only facilitate the exchange of goods and ideas but also improve the port's attractiveness to U.S. investors, aligning with U.S. diplomatic and economic interests.

To formalize this collaboration, the resolution proposes the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Alabama and the Port of Bar. This MOU would encompass various areas of cooperation, including infrastructure development, marketing strategies, and the expansion of cargo and cruise operations. Additionally, it aims to create working groups for sharing security information, develop mutual technical and financial incentives, and promote best practices for economic development and multi-modal operations. Overall, the resolution seeks to stimulate investment and trade opportunities between Alabama and the Port of Bar, benefiting both parties involved.
