Očit znak ekonomskih poteškoća je taj što je Budva bila jedini grad-domaćin besplatnom koncertu na otvorenom povodom dočeka 2010. godine, za razliku od barem pet-šest gradova koji su takve koncerte održali prethodne godine.
An obvious sign of the economic troubles is that Budva was the only city to host a free outdoor concert to ring in 2010, as opposed to at least a half dozen towns that did so last year.
