Montenegro, Heart of the Balkans

Anyway you arrive in Montenegro, the first thing you can see is a very mountainous landscape, and when close to the Adriatic coast, this makes up for magnificent photo opportunities.

Since it was recognized as an independent state in 1878, Montenegro has been part of three different national identities before becoming a country on its own again: the Independent state of Montenegro, the Republic of Yugoslavia, and Serbia and Montenegro before the decision in 2006 to separate definitely from Serbia and become what we know as Montenegro today.

Nowadays, Montenegro is becoming a touristic country in the heart of the Balkans. For the Eastern Europeans, it represents a closer version of what you can find on the Mediterranean coast of France and Italy. For the Western Europeans, it feels as close to the East with a mix of religions and cultures. One thing everyone finds in common is the natural beauty of the country, from the Adriatic coast to Durmitor National Park in the Balkans.
