I have 5 upcoming trips to TGD(Montenegro) in intervals of 2-3months.
Round trip ticket cost around 650$(economy).
Chase 100k bonus points redeemed for travel at 1.25 will give me 1250$ so that will cover two tickets.
I also have 7500 miles with TK, with an upcoming trip that will earn another 2-3000. Round trip cost via TK miles is 60k miles.

However, I have few question:
Is there a better way to do it while potentially earning a third round trip ticket(or at least lowering its cost in half).
On Chase travel website, if I don't have enough points to cover the cost of a ticket, can I pay the rest with my credit card ?

To TGD from where? Have you considered the Covid-19 restrictions?
What airline/airlines fly that route? (for $650 return)

Are you trying to earn ff miles on these trips? Or use ff miles for award flights?
Theoretical award cost does not mean there is award availability.

Chase points are similar to cash
