Montenegro - without a car

Hi

I'm going to Montenegro this April 12-15 and am excited!!!!! However I just realized there's no cable car and alpine coaster( serves me right for using ehh aiii* to assist in creating an itinerary!) I am interested in hiking however I don't think I can hike up to Lovcen. So what are my options now to go to Lovcen? I would really like to avoid paid group tours as I feel it's too restrictive and I don't have a license. Is there any place I can travel by bus from kotor near lovcen so I can hike from there? Or is taking a group bus my only option 🥲😭
