Montenegro Ends Visa-Free Entry for Russia, Belarus, Turkey from Nov 1

Montenegro's government adopted a report canceling visa-free agreements with Russia, Belarus, and Turkey, effective November 1, requiring visas for their citizens. This marks a policy shift aligning Montenegro more closely with EU visa norms, likely in response to EU accession requirements and geopolitical pressures. The move affects travel and could signal broader alignment with Western sanctions, though Turkey's inclusion suggests a broader migration control rationale.
