Abstract
The relationship between Montenegro and Russia represents an extremely complex challenge, that Montenegro, as a small country, has been faced with over a significant period of time. From 1997, after the ruling party split, the leadership of Montenegro decided to start orienting itself more towards the West, gradually moving in favour of national independence as opposed to any form of state union. Montenegro’s foreign policy priorities were defined in 2006: securing its position as a sovereign state, ensuring a European perspective, securing a reliable alliance within NATO and promoting stable cooperation with countries in the region and key world players.
