Beautiful is Montenegro. Its plains are fragrant. The sea foams. The grapes ripen in the friendly vales and the people look forward to the good wine. Under the warm sky of the Mediterranean different cultures live. They found their equilibrium in the search for peace. People live in harmony and respect the customs of the past.
