Montenegro the pearl of the Mediterranean, unique in many ways,
and situated in the south of the Adriatic.
There is nowhere else that you can find,
in such a small place, so much natural wealth, beauty, mild beaches, clear lakes,
fast rivers and gorgeous mountains except in Montenegro.

In the morning you can wake up along the beautiful Adriatic coast, have lunch on
the banks of Skadar Lake, and enjoy the evening walks in the Montenegrin mountains.
Montenegro is a place that cannot leave you indifferent.

Montenegro (or Republika Crna Gora), is a country located in Southeastern Europe.
It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the south, and borders Croatia on the west,
Bosnia and Herzegovina on the northwest, Serbia on the northeast and Albania on the southeast.

Its de facto capital and largest city is Podgorica, while Cetinje is designated as Prijestonica the old royal capital, or seat of the throne.
Independent from the late Middle Ages until 1918, the country was later
a part of various incarnations of Yugoslavia and the state union of Serbia and Montenegro.

Based on the results of a referendum held on May 21, 2006, Montenegro declared
independence on June 3, 2006. On June 28, Montenegro became the 192nd member state of the United Nations.
