MONTENEGRO (Crna Gora, "Black Mountain") is located in Southeastern Europe. This country, which was formerly part of Serbia, borders the Adriatic Sea and 5 countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Serbia; Montenegro has a small border with Croatia. The capital of Montenegro is Podgorica. Montenegrin is the country's official language. An annual celebration on May 21st commemorates the independence of Montenegro (2006) from the larger Serbia and Montenegro country. July 13th is also celebrated for the Berlin Congress declaring Montenegro as independent in 1878. The former currency of Montenegro was the Deutsche Mark of Germany, which was used until 2002. Currently as of April 2016, the Euro is used by Montenegrins. The country does not circulate Euro coins with its own national designs, although this could change in the future.
