Montenegro is a sovereign nation located in southeastern Europe. A modern and developed country which is classified as upper-middle income, Montenegro separated from Serbia in 2006, adopted the euro as its official currency, and is on the way to becoming a member state of the European Union. With positive relations with its European neighbors and a burgeoning international image and reputation, Montenegro is a member of the United Nations, NATO, the World Trade Organization, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Council of Europe, the Central European Free Trade Agreement and a founding member of the Union for the Mediterranean.

Boasting stunning natural beauty that stretches from the beaches of the Adriatic Sea to the rugged mountains and forests of the interior, Montenegro is centrally positioned within Europe and bordered by Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north, by Serbia to the northeast, by Kosovo to the east, and by Albania to the south. One of Europe’s up-and- coming destinations, for years’ visitors and investors have been taking notice of the low cost of living and unique opportunities that Montenegro provides, while its natural beauty and traditions remain untainted by mass tourism.
