Montenegro

Pozdrav iz Crne Gore!

Beautiful Montenegro lies to the north of Albania along the mountainous Adriatic coast. “Montenegro” literally translates in most Western European languages to black mountain and staying true to its name, boasts some of the most rugged terrains in the region. What’s particular about this Balkan country is that Montenegro doesn’t mint, issue or print Euro coins or bills, they actually import them from other Eurozones.
