To buy a coffee truck in Montenegro, start by deciding build-versus-import and the exact chassis class: a 3.5‑ton N1 keeps you on a B-category license and avoids heavy road taxes while offering payload for a two‑group machine. Budget €35k–€80k: used EU builds land cheaper; new customs imports incur duty plus 21% VAT at clearance. Specify power first—true two‑group requires 4–6 kW; choose a silent inverter+battery pack (10–15 kWh) with shore power, or a low‑noise 6 kVA generator, and confirm ventilation. Fit 100–200 L fresh water, separate grey tank, food‑grade plumbing, and HACCP-compliant surfaces; LPG for hot water triggers a fire‑safety check. Register the food business with the Food Safety Administration, implement a HACCP plan, and pass sanitary inspection before trading. Form as doo or sole proprietor, open a local account, activate e‑Fiscalization (fiscal printer/QR receipts), and add POS for cards—Montenegro uses the euro. Secure municipality concessions for pitches (Budva, Kotor, Podgorica) and respect coastal noise/signage rules. Prioritize corrosion protection for salt air, a wind-stable service window, and serviceable parts (E61 group, standard filters). Insure vehicle and liability. Off‑season, target ski resorts and events; profitable menus pair specialty espresso with bottled water and local pastries. Leases beat ad‑hoc spots with stability.
