Montenegro closed visa-free entry to Russians. Moscow is already preparing retaliatory measures. As of November 1, Russian citizens will need to apply for a visa to travel to Montenegro. It costs €35 for adults and €17.50 for children under 14. Documents are accepted at VFS Global visa centers in nine Russian cities and at the Montenegrin Embassy in Moscow. The test lasts two to three weeks. Instead of a Montenegrin visa, you can use a valid Schengen visa or other entry documents recognized by Podgorica. Montenegro canceled the agreement on reciprocal visa-free travel signed in 2008. The country's authorities explained the decision by wanting to adapt the visa policy to the rules of the European Union, which Montenegro expects to join in 2028. Russia has already announced retaliatory measures: as of December 30, Montenegrin citizens will also need visas to travel to the Russian Federation. Well, yes, because Montenegrins dream of exchanging the Adriatic Sea for an unforgettable vacation in Norilsk.
