History
Austria and Montenegro established diplomatic relations on 15 June 2006, shortly after Montenegro declared independence. Austria was among the first European countries to recognise Montenegro and has since been one of its important European partners.
Relations are considered close and friendly, with Austria strongly supporting Montenegro’s European Union accession process. Bilateral cooperation includes trade, investment, tourism, development cooperation, education, and cultural exchange. Austria is also one of Montenegro’s significant economic partners and has supported institutional reforms and democratic development.
