Kotor, Montenegro - from Russia to NATO and back: how has Montenegro lived for 2400 years?
Montenegro is a small but history-rich country on the Balkan Peninsula. Its history is closely intertwined with events that took place in the region, and is also associated with important European powers. Let's take a fascinating walk through the ancient city of Kotor and talk about the history of these places. Let's start with antiquity.
The Byzantine Empire had a significant influence on the formation of Montenegrin culture and way of life. Then in the Middle Ages the region experienced barbarian invasions and occupation by the Venetian Republic. These influences have left their mark on Montenegrin architecture, language and traditions.
At the beginning of the 19th century, during the Napoleonic era, Montenegro, under the leadership of Peter I, freed itself from Turkish rule. However, while remaining formally independent, the country entered into an alliance with Russia to ensure its security from Ottoman influence.
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, Montenegro united with the Kingdom of Serbia and became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During World War II, the region was occupied by the Nazis and became an anti-fascist stronghold. After the war, Montenegro became part of the newly created Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, maintaining its autonomy.
However, in the early 1990s, NATO intervention and the collapse of Yugoslavia led to Montenegro declaring independence in 2006. This period was also accompanied by the events of the bloody, disintegrating Yugoslavia and military conflicts in the region.
In recent decades, Montenegro has been striving for integration with the West. Its accession to NATO in 2017 was an important step towards Euro-Atlantic integration. This decision was justified by the desire to ensure security and stability in the region, as well as to emphasize Montenegro's intention to become part of the European community.
Thus, Montenegrin history is a complex path, saturated with the influences of different cultures and powers. During our walk we will touch on many of these topics and you will discover Montenegro from a completely different side.
