Montenegro opens borders for the EU member states residents

At today’s session, chaired by President Milutin Simovic and attended by Prime Minister Dusko Markovic, the National Coordination Body for Infectious Diseases (the NKT) decided to open the borders for the entry of residents of EU member states without additional conditions.

Appreciating today’s decision of the European Council on the coordinated opening of the borders of the European Union countries towards third countries, the NKT decided that Montenegro would allow the entry of EU residents without additional conditions. In deciding, the facts about high epidemiological standards and quality health infrastructure of the European Union countries were also taken into account. Residents of European Union countries are allowed to enter Montenegro through non-EU countries, but only if they use those countries only as transit countries, or if they do not stay in those countries, as evidenced by the inspection at the time of entry and exit from those countries.

The National Coordinating Body for Infectious Diseases will decide later on the opening policy towards other countries. The decision will take into account all relevant epidemiological parameters in each country such as the number of active cases of infection, the trend and prevalence of active cases as well as the overall response of each country to COVID-19 including available information on testing, monitoring, contact monitoring, treatment and reporting , as well as the reliability of information.

The European union countries also lifted travel restrictions for the Montenegrin citizens
