MONTENEGRO, HAPPY STATEHOOD DAY!

Day 1,697, 02:15 Published in Slovakia Montenegro by montenegro90

Dear readers,

One small state on the western Balkan is celebrating July 13, a day very special for all Montenegrins.



Statehood Day is a holiday that occurs every year on July 13 in Montenegro to commemorate the day in 1878 on which the Berlin Congress recognized Montenegro as the twenty-seventh independent state in the world, and in 1941 the Montenegrins staged an uprising against the Nazi occupiers and sided with the partisan communist movement.





Statehood Day is not to be confused with Montenegro's Independence Day, which is held each year on May 21 in honor of the 2006 plebiscite that indicated that 55,5% of Montenegrins were in favor of becoming a sovereign nation.

Montenegro is a proof that small nations can be big, that small nations can win big wars, that small nations can survive and that small nations can be nothing the less PROUD in compare to bigger ones!


Dear Montenegrins, HAPPY STATEHOOD DAY!

НЕК' НАМ ЈЕ ВЈЕЧНА ЦРНА ГОРА !
