COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

  • Foreign drivers must register at the airport / border for road tax, separate from vignette systems used elsewhere in the Balkans.
  • Wild camping is restricted in national parks (Durmitor, Lovćen, Skadar Lake) — designated campsites only.

JURISDICTION NOTES

  • Montenegro adopted the euro unilaterally in 2002 — it is not in the eurozone, so euro-area consumer protections don't apply.
  • EU accession is on track but not complete; laws are converging with EU acquis.
