Ministry of Foreign Affairs- Cetinje (1879-1916)

The collection contains, among other documents, Montenegrin citizens’ passports issued by the Ministry and indicating their destinations. The documents date back to 1879-1916, starting right after Montenegrin independence in 1978 and up to the capitulation in World War I. Although most information focuses on men’s migration, women were also documented especially the ones who travelled with their families or were going to be reunified with their families.
