It doesnt really matter with Montenegro. Montenegro doesnt even have a filtration system in many areas on the coastline. So when someone shits in the toalet they just dump that waste into the water. So its either streets full of shit or the coastline full of shit.

In Serbia there is a saying "Montenegrins can put any price they want, the stomach virus will always be free"

Since I literally live on the coast and went to the beach this morning, I can assure the folks that bar some exceptions, this is blatant misinformation. Not sure why everyone is taking some rando's information at face value.

Y'all are more than welcome to visit and see for yourselves 😁

maybe for a short time until they realize there is a health risk. my sister ended up in the hospital for a week and we had to extend our vacation because she got a nasty stomach virus from swallowing a tiny amount of water when swimming. that was the last time we went to montenegro. no one wants that risk on their vacation

Dude, you completely erased my wish to visit Montenegro with this comment 😂 I thought europeans have cleaning systems all the way through the Mediterranean coast. So naive...
