The country

Montenegro had 623,633 inhabitants at the 2023 census, 179,505 of them in Podgorica. Since March 2002, the euro has been its only legal tender, adopted unilaterally: the country is not part of the euro area, and its use of the euro is part of its negotiations to join the European Union. Covering 13,812 km², it has 293 km of coastline and five national parks: Durmitor, Biogradska gora, Lake Skadar, Lovćen and Prokletije.

The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor, at the head of the Bay of Kotor, has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979. Durmitor National Park has been listed since 1980: it is best known for its canyons, including the Tara canyon, the deepest in Europe.
