Montenegro and the euro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montenegro is a country in Southeast Europe, which is neither a member of the European Union (EU) nor the Eurozone; it does not have a formal monetary agreement with the EU either. However, it is one of the two territories (along with Kosovo) that has unilaterally adopted the euro[lower-alpha 1] in 2002 as its de facto domestic currency.[1] This means that even though the euro is not a legal tender there, it is treated as such by the government and the population.[2][better source needed]
