Montenegro Sets Oct. 1 Deadline to End Visa-Free Travel for Russians

Montenegro is preparing to end its visa-free regime for Russian citizens starting Oct. 1, ending a policy that has been in place for nearly 18 years.

Restrictions will also extend to citizens of Turkey, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Bahrain, and Belarus, independent media outlet ASTRA reported, citing Dan’s own sources. Montenegro is working on bringing its migration policy in line with Schengen zone standards ahead of the country’s possible EU accession.
