The thing is, that you FIRST need the PERMISSION of the ministry to import the drone to Montenegro. This can only be done physically in Montenegro and in montenegrin language. Or you give somebody power of attorney. All the procedure takes around 30 days. For more information just contact me. We helped much pilots in the last months.
