In addition to being able to purchase real estate, Emilfarba and AMIA have also convinced the Beach Lounge restaurant, Dukley hotel, and the Dukley Marina to accept BTC as well.

We acquired brand new clientele — In the world, and especially in Europe, there is only a limited number of real estate that can be bought with BTC.

The Apartment Sales Were Closed Quickly and Witnessed by the Budva Notary Office

The sale was witnessed by the Budva Notary, Pantović’s Law office, and attorneys from Prelević’s Law. After the official papers were signed and the BTC was transferred the funds were immediately converted to Euros.
