Montenegro
from: ExclusiveMontenegro
Montenegro (montenegrin: Crna Gora), meaning "Black Mountain",
is a sovereign state in Southeastern Europe. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the south-west and is bordered by Croatia to the west, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the northwest, Serbia to the northeast, and Albania to the south-east.
In the 9th century, there were three principalities on the territory of Montenegro: Duklja, roughly corresponding to the southern half, Travunia, the west, and Rascia, the north. In 1042, archon Stefan Vojislav led a revolt that resulted in the independence of Duklja and the establishment of the Vojislavljević dynasty. Duklja reached its zenith under Vojislav's son, Mihailo (1046–81), and his grandson Bodin (1081–1101).
By the 13th century, Zeta had replaced Duklja when referring to the realm. In the late 14th century, southern Montenegro (Zeta) came under the rule of the Balšić noble family, then the Crnojević noble family, and by the 15th century, Zeta was more often referred to as Crna Gora (Venetian: monte negro). Large portions fell under the control of the Ottoman Empire from 1496 to 1878 (Between 1454 (For Niksic) and 1878 for Old Herzegovina). Parts were controlled by Venice and First French Empire and Austria-Hungary, its successors. From 1515 until 1851 the prince-bishops (vladikas) of Cetinje were the rulers. The House of Petrović-Njegoš ruled until 1918.
From 1918, it was a part of Yugoslavia. On the basis of an independence referendum held on 21 May 2006, Montenegro declared independence on 3 June of that year.

Montenegro (em montenegrino: Crna Gora) literalmente "montanha negra",
é uma pequena e montanhosa república situada nos Balcãs, no Sudeste da Europa, fazendo fronteira com o mar Adriático a sudoeste, com a Albânia e o Kosovo a sudeste, com a Bósnia e Herzegovina e uma pequena fronteira com a Croácia a noroeste, e com a Sérvia a nordeste.
Entre 1945 e 1991, e desde então até 2003, foi uma das repúblicas constituintes da República Socialista da Jugoslávia e da República Federal da Jugoslávia, respectivamente; desde então e até Junho de 2006, foi uma das duas repúblicas que integraram o Estado da Sérvia e Montenegro.
Em 21 de Maio de 2006 realizou-se um referendo para determinar a vontade do povo de se tornar independente ou de manter a união com a Sérvia. Em 3 de Junho de 2006 o parlamento montenegrino declarou oficialmente a independência do novo país, mas só obteve aceitação da ONU no dia 28 de Junho do mesmo ano.
