Montenegro in May 2015

1...5 May 2015

Privately-funded pro-Russian propaganda.

The Great Victory! Pride, Remembrance, Reverence.

Kotor

Kotor — the only interesting city in Montenegro.

A Venetian fortress wall encircles the medieval city. It wasn’t sufficiently spoiled back in the times when this was still Yugoslavia, so it’s a nice place to stroll around.

The rubbish bins are reminiscent of the historical center in Riga.

Purveyors of trendy clothes.

Grocery store checkout girl.

A builder.

A waiter.

Tourists.

Balkan charm.

Commemorative plaque.

The Russian consulate was located in this building 1804-1806.

This commemorative plaque was installed on 2 October 2004, marking the 200-year anniversary of the consulate’s opening.

Shutters.

Sveti Stefan

The most expensive hotel in Montenegro sits opposite an eponymous village, atop a naturally formed island on the Budva riviera.

Access to the island is restricted to hotel guests, which means it’s pricey. Let’s take a walk around the mainland instead. There are beautiful manhole covers there.

Exquisite rubbish bins.

The quiet life.

And your ordinary Montenegrin indifference.
