What is the legal process for buying property in Montenegro?
Montenegro uses the Euro as legal tender without being an EU or Eurozone member (unilateral adoption since 2002). Property law is modern and codified; the cadastral system (katastar) is digitised. EU accession negotiations are ongoing with target dates in the late 2020s.
