Montenegro : Profile

Facts

• In June 2006 the people of Montenegro voted to become independent and no longer be allied to the Serbian republic in the union of "Serbia and Montenegro".

• The main attraction of Montenegro's coast is the spectacular Gulf of Kotor, the longest fjord in southern Europe, and long sandy beaches around the popular resorts of Budva and Ulcinj.

• A cruising permit is required for Montenegro (available on arrival) and the cost of this rose dramatically in November 2008, making Montenegro a relatively expensive country to visit.

Security

Montenegro is a safe destination for travellers, although it is wise to take sensible precautions against street crime in the towns and cities, as you would in any country.
