Purpose: The purpose of the research was to determine food consumer behaviour and attitudes towards food consumption and household food waste in Montenegro. Since the period of conducting the research coincided with the expansion of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Montenegro (10–14 weeks since its outbreak), the results of this research could indicate the emerging pandemic circumstances.Design/methodology/approach: A total of 529 consumers were surveyed online, and 514 questionnaires met the requirements of further statistical processing. Data were processed by methods of descriptive statistics and chi-square test of association between socio-economic characteristics of respondents and their attitudes, as well as cluster analysis.Findings: The main findings of the research are (1) consumers in Montenegro are quite responsible for the use of food because they throw away a small part, both in quantity and value; (2) Montenegrin households still practice a traditional way of life with frequent preparation and consumption of food at home and use of leftovers; (3) consumers have confusing perceptions regarding date labels of industrially processed foods; (4) during the COVID-19 pandemic, 17.3% of consumers increased and 11.8% decreased the frequency of food purchases, while 20.7% increased and 5.1% decreased food waste.Originality/value: The work is highly original and, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no other article that analysed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on food wastage and food-related behaviours during the outbreak of the pandemic in Montenegro (May–June 2020). Therefore, the work fills a gap in research and knowledge and sets a baseline for future studies.

The aim of this paper is to present the current state and wine tourism potential in the Republic of Srpska with the primary focus on its wineries and their activities towards attracting wine tourists from all over the world. To achieve this, a survey was conducted among 37 wineries in the Republic of Srpska. The first part of the questionnaire included data about planted grape varieties, annual yield, wine production, vineyards areas, and winery staff information. The second part of the survey was dedicated to the degree of participation of wineries in wine tourism activities and the services offered to wine tourists. Results indicate that the major factors thwarting further wine tourism development are the lack of accommodation and catering facilities as well as tours in foreign languages. One of the problems is the current lack of wine routes generally seen as critical supporting tools for wine tourism development. Based on the research results, the authors propose two wine routes in the Republic of Srpska, the Northern and Southern wine routes. Further wine tourism development should be focused mainly on these areas.

The article looks at viticulture, wine production and wine tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The cluster analysis was carried out to identify the current situation and to explore the possibilities for the development of wine tourism as an additional segment that can contribute to a better positioning of both sectors and to the diversification of the income of wine producers in the country. The analysis identified three different groups (clusters) of wine producers with different capacities. Given the different structure of wineries, the possibility of diversifying agricultural and rural policy measures must be examined in order to contribute to a more intensive development of viticulture and winemaking which would also encourage the development of the tourist offer for each wine producer.

The municipality of Trebinje is located in the Trebišnjica river basin in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among Bileća, Ljubinje, Ravno, Herceg Novi, Dubrovnik and Nikšić a very specific and distinguishable karst countryside has developed which is made of karst polje in a debris, mountainous scope (Leotar, Bijela Gora, Zubačke mountains) and huge number of bare limestone hills and the surfaces with all micro shapes of holokarst. The author emphasizes the tourist attractions of the specific geomorphological shapes that can be valorized by the tourists in his works
