“At the moment of the creation of our planet, the most beautiful merging of land and sea occured at the Montenegrin seaside... When Pearls of Nature were sown, it was with a full hand that they were cast on this soil…”
George Gordon Byron about Montenegro
“It’s not enough to have one homeland
And just one life to live on earth.
I’d choose the Montenegrin land
To be my second place of birth.”
Vladimir Vysotsky
