Today, July 6 at 7:15 p.m., many Montenegrins took out their old rifles to fire a few blanks in their blue skies in sympathy with Novak Jokovic's victory over Roger Federer at Wimbledon. It must be said that everyone here is waiting for the World Star of foot tennis to celebrate her wedding on the Sveti Stefan peninsula on the 9th and 10th of July during these two days. This will be very good publicity for Montenegro, because the country needs it at the moment, since the Russians, who until now have been the majority of tourists on the coast, have turned their backs on this part of the Adriatic for three reasons: The fall of the rouble, the problems in Ukraine and above all a diplomatic error on the part of the Montenegrin leaders who allowed themselves to ally themselves with the EU to tell Vladimir Putin to back off in Ukraine. This did not please the Russians, considering that Montenegro is not yet in the European family and as a tiny, half-Russian territory should have remained neutral. As a result, Russian investors in Montenegrin real estate are taking a nice break, as are tourists leaving their places to the traditional Serbian neighbour with low purchasing power. Hoping that the sale of the most beautiful beaches in the Arab Emirates will somewhat bail out the state coffers. That's why we're waiting for the imminent opening of three internationally renowned hotels like Hyatt ... While waiting in fish restaurants in the most beautiful parts of the country, it is the French that we hear the most. Smart French people came to take advantage of the low prices in some hidden places.
Once upon a time in Montenegro...
