With one of the fastest growing economies in the Balkans, Montenegro has established itself not only as a world renowned holiday destination, with some of the finest beaches and super yacht marinas, but also as a strategic destination for some of the world’s most important industries. A country that is multinational and multilingual, and enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, beautiful scenery, and a low cost of living.
Montenegro unveiled its Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) to the public in October 2019 with the aim of encouraging and facilitating foreign direct investment and increasing economic activity in the country.
