Traveling along the roads of mountainous Montenegro - as well as most of the Balkans - gives tourists a huge amount of impressions: the inexperienced gaze of the average tourist opens up mountain passes with breathtaking views of the Adriatic, bays, lagoons and lakes, narrow and not very serpentines, heights of hundreds of meters above sea level, from which lays the ears. Montenegro is a small country, and almost all of it can be easily traveled by car. In Montenegro, right-hand traffic. Maps for navigator (Garmin) can be downloaded Here.
In fact, there are several routes from Russia to Montenegro, but we recommend this route: Moscow - Kyiv - Reni - Bucharest - Belgrade - Lazarevac - Bielo Pole - Mojkovac - Kolasin - Podgorica - Cetinje - Budva. See the detailed route from Moscow to Montenegro by car on the map: http://g.co/maps/ae3ap
Another route proposed by our reader Vyacheslav, for which special thanks to him:
Russia - Moscow, Smolensk, Belarus - Minsk, Brest, Poland - Lublin, Rzheshov, Slovakia - Preshov, Kosice, Hungary - Budapest (travel only through the center), Balaton, Croatia - Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik.
On the way, only 2 days with one overnight stay in Rzheshov, this is exactly halfway. Roads are not very good only in Poland, about 350 km. The rest of the roads are high-speed and there are toll roads. Do not forget to buy vignettes for a car for driving on high-speed roads in Slovakia and Hungary.
In general, traffic inspectors in Montenegro are quite loyal to cars with foreign numbers, knowing that the drivers are most likely tourists who bring money to this wonderful country. So far, surveillance cameras have not been installed on the coast, and traffic violations are recorded personally by local police officers who stand in a few - known to everyone - places, armed with radars. The fine can be paid in two ways: 1) on the spot to the police officer who will issue the appropriate form, 2) at the bank - on the basis of the same form. The maximum permitted speed on the roads of Montenegro: 50 km/h in the village, 80 km/h outside the village. In Montenegro, the presence of alcohol in the blood of a driver at a level of up to 0.3 ppm is allowed (In the new law on road safety in Montenegro, which entered into force in January 2013).

Foreign citizens can enter the territory of Montenegro on cars of foreign registration, subject to the presence of a driver's license (any sample! - do not throw money away for "international rights", which are ashamed to show) and "green cards" (green card, green card). Green card (green card) is a compulsory insurance of civil liability of foreign owners of vehicles in the territory of the countries participating in the international system "Green Card". A green card policy can be purchased from Russian insurance companies in advance or at the border when entering a country participating in the Green Card system. Unfortunately, not all Russian insurers sell a green card, especially for companies and their subsidiaries located outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg. To apply for a green card, you will need the following documents:
Among the Russian companies offering car insurance under the Green Card system are Ingosstrakh and others.
The Green Card policy is issued for a period of 15 days to 1 year. The cost of a green card to Montenegro for 15 days is approximately 30 euros.

The cost of a liter of gasoline in Montenegro (95 and 98) is 1.35 and 1.38 euros, the cost of a liter of diesel in Montenegro is 1.28 euros. When you arrive at a gas station, know that you fill up first - then pay.
In resort towns, many parking spaces are paid, the cost can vary from 0.4 to 1 euro per hour. Payment is made either by SMS (look for a column indicating the parking area and a phone number to send SMS), or by paying for a coupon that is placed under the windshield (look for self-service posts or rospechat kiosks, where you can also buy a parking ticket). Unlike Western European countries, parking attendants actively monitor parking fees.
