Economy of Montenegro from XIX to XXI century - an overview

The monograph "Economy of Montenegro from XIX to XXI century - an overview", presents an overview of economic development, economic structure and basic features of the economy of Montenegro since its first official international recognition as an independent country in 1878. Montenegro emerged as a state in the ninth century, building a medieval statehood, which was interrupted several times.
