Montenegro is a Balkan country in Southeastern Europe with a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the south. Its dramatic natural beauty, 
including the imposing mountains that wall the coast, inspired 15th-century Venetians to name it Monte Negro, or Black Mountain. 
Heroic-looking highlands, picturesque bays overlooking the royal blue Adriatic Sea, antique Venetian villages and UNESCO heritage cities, 
draw both domestic and foreign tourists.
Montenegro is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after destination for businesspeople seeking to invest, mobility, security and an increased quality of life.

The Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program was launched by the Government of Montenegro as part of its ongoing efforts to attract foreign direct investment and increase economic activity in the country. Montenegro economic citizenship program allows foreigners to be granted the citizenship of Montenegro at the discretion of the Ministry of Interior Affairs and Public Administration through a designated investment.
