The moment

A new
European
chapter

Montenegro is entering one of the most important chapters in its modern history.

With its European future increasingly within reach, the coming years offer a unique opportunity to build stronger relationships, broaden perceptions of the country and create new connections across Europe.

This is a moment not only for institutions, but for people.

  • For those who know Montenegro.
  • Those who care about it.
  • And those who may become part of its future.

The Cercle was created to bring them together.

The idea

More than
a network

A community around Montenegro

Cercle des Amis du Monténégro is an independent nonprofit platform established in France, with a European outlook.

It brings together individuals and organisations connected to Montenegro through heritage, friendship, culture, business, experience or opportunity.

The Cercle is not defined by nationality.
It is defined by connection.

  • Some through curiosity.
