History

M-6 highway was built as part of the larger M-8 highway within the Yugoslav highway network, spanning Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia. It connected Pljevlja with Foča in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Prijepolje, Sjenica and Novi Pazar in Serbia. [2] However, construction was never completed on the Montenegrin section of the road. [3]

In January 2016, the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs published bylaw on categorisation of state roads. [1] With new categorisation, part of M-8 highway (west of Pljevlja) was downgraded to regional road and named as R-18 regional road.
