Montenegro is a country located in
Southeastern Europe. It has a coast on the
Adriatic Sea to the south and is bordered by
Croatia to the west,
Bosnia and Herzegovina to the northwest,
Serbia and
Kosovo to the northeast, and
Albania to the south. Its capital is
Podgorica with its official language being
Montenegrin. The thousand-year history of the
Montenegrin state begins in the
9th century with the emergence of
Duklja, a vassal state of
Byzantium. In those formative years,
Duklja was ruled by the
Vojislavljević dynasty. In 1042, at the end of his 25-year rule, King Vojislav won a decisive battle near
Bar against Byzantium, and Duklja became independent. Duklja's power and prosperity reached their zenith under King Vojislav's son, King Mihailo (1046-81), and his son King Bodin (1081-1101). From the 11th century, it started to be referred to as
Zeta. It ended with its incorporation into
Raška, and beginning with the Crnojević dynasty, Zeta was more often referred to as Crna Gora or by the
Venetian term monte negro. A
sovereign principality since the
Late Middle Ages, Montenegro saw its independence from the
Ottoman Empire formally recognized in 1878. From 1918, it was a part of various incarnations of
Yugoslavia. On the basis of a
referendum held on 21 May 2006, Montenegro declared independence on 3 June. On 28 June 2006, it became the 192nd member state of the
United Nations, and on 11 May 2007 the 47th member state of the
Council of Europe. On 15 December 2008, Montenegro presented its official application to the European Union, with the hopes of gaining EU candidate status by 2009.
