Diplomatic Relations

Overall, relations between Montenegro and the State of Libya are considered to be friendly. Montenegro fully supports all the endeavors of the International Community, as well as (until recently) beligerent parties within this country - towards achieving internal peace and long-term stability. Montenegro also fully aligns itself with the policies of the EU, UN and the NATO with regards to the crisis in Libya.

The former Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (today's State of Libya) officially recognized Montenegro on the 22nd of June 2006, and the diplomatic relations were established on the 9th of February 2011 (by signing the Protocol on the establishment of diplomatic relations on the ambassadorial level).

Neither states have the diplomatic, or consular, representations in their respective counterparts. Although, in practice, regular diplomatic communication takes place through the Embassy of Libya in Belgrade.

Political Contacts

Significant contacts of the highest state's officials occured in the previous period (i.e. former Montenegrin president Filip Vujanović visited Libya twice – in 2003, and in 2009).

Economic Cooperation / International Trade

Overall exchange of goods and services in 2020 (January – November) amounted to €827,529 (related to exports only); overall exchange in 2019 totaled €1,053,480 (exports – €1,053,426, imports €54); overall exchange in 2018 was altogether €93,046 (exports €74,103, imports €18,943); overall exchange in 2017 was €0; overall exchange in 2016 was €344,885 (exports - €340,906, imports €3,379); overall exchange in 2015 amounted to €5,220,419 (exports only).

Miscellaneous

Montenegro and Libya haven't, so far, signed any bilateral treaties (since the renewal of Montenegro's statehood).

In March of 2015, H.E. Gojko Čelebić, otherwise the non-residential Ambassador of Montenegro to Egypt (from Podgorica), took office of the Ambassador of Montenegro to the Arab League. Arab League, AL, is an international organization comprised of 22 member-states. It was formed in 1946 in Cairo, and Libya is one of it's members. Arab League is, besides African Union (AU) cosidered to be the most influential multilateral subject in the aforementioned part of the world. Montenegro has the status of a guest-state in AL.
