Montenegro maintaining domestic COVID-19 restrictions as of June 2; international entry restrictions remain in place.

Event

Authorities in Montenegro are maintaining some COVID-19-related domestic restrictions as of June 2. While the nationwide curfew and movement restrictions have been lifted, the following measures will remain in effect until at least June 4:

Members of different households are forbidden to meet socially indoors.
Individuals must wear protective face coverings in indoor and outdoor public spaces and maintain at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) of physical distancing.
Nonessential businesses and services may only operate 07:00-22:00.
Catering establishments may only operate 07:00-00:00 and can only serve parties of up to four people; bars and clubs must remain closed.
Public gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited.

All travelers entering the country must present proof of vaccination or a negative result from a COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours prior to arrival; the test can be either a PCR or a rapid antigen test. Montenegrin citizens and residents may enter without such proof, though they must self-isolate for 14 days on arrival. All individuals arriving from Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine are exempt from this measure and may enter without restrictions. Freight transporters and aircraft cabin crews are also exempt.

Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
