Beauty, mild beaches, clear lakes, fast rivers and gorgeous mountains – like you can in the small Republic of Montenegro. This little country is part of the Balkans and part of the Mediterranean, near Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy and Albania. Despite its small size there are so many contrasts and so much natural beauty. The total length of the spectacular Montenegrin coastline is 290 kilometers, 73 km of which are sandy beaches. Some beaches are kilometers long or only a couple of tens of meters.

Between 1945 and 2003, Montenegro was a Republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia respectively. Till the May 2006 used to be two constituent states of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro. In 2006, Montenegro gained independence in the referendum. So union with Serbia was terminated.

Montenegro’s tourism had suffered greatly from unrests and wars in surrounding countries in the 1990s, as Balkans had been considered generally unsafe by tourists from the west. In recent years, along with the stabilized situation in the region, tourism in Montenegro began to recover, and Montenegro is being re-discovered by tourists from around the globe.

Montenegro offer a good mix of historical attractions and modern amenities, making it suitable for both business and leisure travelers. In particular, the coastline along the Adriatic was singled out as a good place to visit, due to its “dramatic” scenery and “beautiful” sandy beaches. Skadar Lake in Montenegro was featured in The Guardian’s Top 5 Freshwater Beach Holidays.

In recent travel supplement of Sunday Times, Montenegro is recommended among 20 style destinations for 2008. The world’s hottest trends, destinations, journeys and experiences – Lonely Planet Blue List 2008 recommends Montenegro:
“…Montenegro is perfect for those who want to explore independently and love the great outdoors in a compact size: hiking, mountaineering, rafting and swimming are within easy reach. And though Montenegro is touted as a summer destination, the winter is perfect for going up into Durmitor National Park, for skiing, snowboarding and, come springtime, rafting on the river Tara, inside Europe’s deepest canyon. “

    most common language is serbo-croatian (montenegrin) and english is not much spoken. But could find young people to translate for you or official translator for business.As for the business I am not into it so cant help you much. If you still want to visit Montenegro I would be happy to help you organize the trip

    In answer to your question regarding what language is spoken in Montenegro, that would be predominantly Serbian.  Staying in some of the hotels, most of the staff speak english, not perfectly, but it is spoken, most of the younger generation does speak the English language.  I would recommend staying at a place called Maestral Hotel located in Mali Milocer, its a 4-5 star hotel that I’ve been to personally, and can highly recommend its service.  The town is a bit off the beaten path, yet close enough to Budva, and Sveti Stephan,  however it is exclusive onto its guests, unlike many of the other hotels/beaches which allow non-guests on their beaches. Waiters there speak many different languages, due to its international customers.  Hope this helps!

    This is helpful.  I apologize for the delay in answering.  I am also interested in visiting, and possibly moving there to work in the stock exchanges.  Is there some that you could direct me to that could help?

  • Ctsavage

    Again, I am sorry for the late response.  Is there someone that could help me with knowledge of the stock exchanges there?  I believe that being involved with electronic trading world wide could offer opportunities for a “safe” style of investing.  This is self directed, and is very popular in the United States.  I would like to be one of the first to introduce this style of investing to everyone.
