Montenegro
Greece recognized the new state of Montenegro on 13 June 2006, and during the visit of Montenegro’s Foreign Minister to Athens in December of the same year, the two countries signed a protocol on the establishment of diplomatic relations. In February 2007, the General Consulate in Podgorica, set up in 1998, became an Embassy. The Embassy also has a Consulate and a Defense Attaché’s Office. Montenegro has an Embassy in Athens since September 2009.
Political Relations
Political relations between the two countries are at a very satisfactory level. Greece supports Montenegro’s Euro-Atlantic perspective within the framework of its overall strategy on the Western Balkans. There are regular contacts at the level of officials, and in November 2010 an educational seminar for young diplomats from Montenegro was organized by the Diplomatic Academy of Athens.
Cultural Relations and Greek Community
The Greek state, through various institutions, offers university scholarships to Montenegro citizens to study in Greece, at undergraduate and postgraduate level. There is also a significant number of scholarships offered to Montenegro officers for training at Greek military schools, and in Podgorica there is a special Greek-language teaching school for military personnel.
