'''Montenegro''', officially the '''FYR''' (Former Yugoslavian Republc) '''Republic of Montenegro''', is a ''new'' country located in the southeast of [[Europe]].
According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Montenegro#Highways wikipedia], roads in '''Montenegro''' are far mostly below European standards.
== Cities ==
* [[Herceg-Novi]], coastal gateway to [[Dubrovnik]], [[Croatia]]
* [[Jaz]], nice hotel/beach area near [[Budva]]
* [[Kotor]], the still-expensveexpensive, but more "alternative" destination of Western European tourists
* [[Podgorica]], the inland capital
* [[Ulcinj]], the gateway from the coast to [[Albania]]
== Hitching ==
People are friendly here but many some of the roads are really terrible and/or treacherously mountainous which means it will take a long long time to cross from south to north. If you're heading towards Montenegro, you may want to avoid [[Kosovo]] to avoid potential additional complications, so if you're headed east, its best to cross through [[Serbia]] and then [[Macedonia]].
Unsurprisingly, there are many mountains (mont-e-negro meaning - black mountains) which can result in 20km taking 5 hours in a truck. But they are spectacular and well worth going through slowly. Try not to get a truck however, because it's a little more dangerous going through the carved tunnels.
