The Montenegrin government has extended the visa-free travel period for Russians. About it reported Russian Foreign Ministry.

It is clarified that the next decision on the temporary exemption of citizens of the Russian Federation from obtaining visas is valid until October 31, 2021. Russians can enter, cross the territory and stay in Montenegro for up to 90 days if they have a passport. At the same time, it remains necessary to obtain work and study visas.
