The ceremony took place on July 10, 2023, attended by a large number of descendants from the Montenegrin diaspora, emphasizing the community’s enduring connection to their homeland.
During the inauguration, Filip Ivanović, the Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro, expressed gratitude towards the attendees for preserving their cultural ties and highlighted the embassy’s role as an open space for collaboration. “This new embassy should serve as a hub for gathering and cooperation,” Ivanović stated, reinforcing the importance of ongoing relationships between Montenegro and its expatriates.
