1. The flag of Montenegro was adopted in 2004, and consists of the country's coat of arms on which colour background?

From Quiz Lost in Montenegro

Answer: Red

The flag is mainly red, with a gold border and the coat of arms in the centre. Montenegro achieved independent statehood on 13 July 2004, having previously been part of Yugoslavia. The coat of arms is a two-headed golden eagle, with one side holding an orb and the other a sceptre. There is a shield in the centre, with a gold lion passant, which means it is shown as walking with one front paw raised.

The coastline runs for 193km, beginning from the north with the Bay of Kotor, which is often referred to as Europe's most southerly fjord. It is actually a drowned river bed, called a ria. The coast has several holiday resorts, including Budva and Ulcinj.

From Quiz Lost in Montenegro

Answer: Nero Wolfe

Nero Wolfe was created by Rex Stout, and most of his cases were set in New York. In the 1957 novel 'Fourth of July Picnic', Wolfe revealed that he had been born in Montenegro and spent his boyhood there.

In 'The Black Mountain', published in 1954, Wolfe actually returned to Montenegro to investigate the death of his friend, Marko Vukcic.

9. The official national anthem of Montenegro was adopted in 2011 and is called 'Oj, svijetla majska zoro'. This translates as 'Oh, bright dawn of' which springtime month?

From Quiz Lost in Montenegro

Answer: May

The anthem is based on a traditional Montenegrin folk song, with the origins of the tune lost in the mists of time. The lyrics were adapted by Sekula Drljevic during the 1930s, but it took some time, and a referendum, before the new anthem was officially adopted. There has been controversy over the use of his lyrics, as Drljevic was a Nazi collaborator during World War II.

Montenegro has many mountains, even though it is a small country. The highest point in Montenegro is Zla Kolata, a peak which is part of the Prokletije mountain range.

From Quiz Lost in Montenegro

The resort was re-developed in 2009, when it became the property of Aman Resorts and the hotel gained five star status.

From Quiz Lost in Montenegro

Answer: Danube

Although the Danube does not touch Montenegro, two of the country's rivers, the Tara and Piva, flow through it before joining to form the river Drina. That, in turn, flows into the river Sava, which is a major tributary of the Danube, joining it at Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Consequently, Montenegro is a member of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube river. The Loire is wholly in France and the Volga is in Russia. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps and flows across Europe into the North Sea.
