The National Coordination Body (NCB) has decided to allow citizens from 26 countries to enter Montenegro from June 1 without quarantine or self-isolation. The countries were selected according to the following criterion – fewer than 25 active COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Thus, Montenegro will open its borders to tourists from Slovenia, Iceland, Croatia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Albania, Austria, Norway, Monaco, Kosovo, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Israel, North Macedonia, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Finland and Estonia. Unfortunately, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine were not included in this list. At the same time, air and sea traffic is allowed, and the previous general aviation measure remains in force. The movement of goods for the needs of Montenegro, as well as the transit of goods, remains unhindered.

“Our citizens and foreigners with permanent or temporary residence in our country who enter Montenegro from countries where the confirmed number of active coronavirus cases is above 25 per 100,000 inhabitants are subject to self-isolation or quarantine for 14 days. For people whose PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 has returned a negative result for the novel coronavirus, the self-isolation and quarantine measure is lifted after 14 days,” the NCB said.

Public events, including weddings, funerals, and sports competitions, are allowed. However, up to 200 people may attend these events (outdoors or indoors). At the same time, maintaining distance – at least two meters apart – remains mandatory. In addition, discos, clubs, bars, as well as children's playrooms are allowed to operate in accordance with the instructions of the Institute of Public Health. Cinemas, theaters, and kindergartens will soon open. Also, from June 1, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will begin operating in each region, in accordance with the established working hours. Permits for permanent and temporary residence and work for foreigners whose validity has expired will be valid until July 1 of this year.
