Hello,
I arrived in Podgorica two weeks ago to work on a two-year contract. I am working with one of the Montenegrin ministries and the US government. So far, everything has gone smoothly -- even with the COVID restrictions in place.
If you plan to travel from the US, beware of the EU travel restrictions. They are constantly changing, so I won't try to restate them here. I watched United Airlines turn people away at the gate, and I was (very politely) detained by the police in Zurich who nearly turned me around until I demonstrated I was traveling on official business.
My first impression here is that the Montenegrins are a friendly and kindly people -- and that they are far more relaxed than Americans. Our political turmoil has taken a toll on us that I don't see occurring here.
