Montenegro Trivia Questions
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.

Albania also borders the Adriatic's eastern part, and lies south of Montenegro. Greece is even further south, and does not have any coastline on the Adriatic and France is nowhere near Montenegro or the Adriatic. 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. He left at the age of sixteen, and eventually settled in America where he became a naturalised American citizen. In 'The Black Mountain', published in 1954, Wolfe actually returned to Montenegro to investigate the death of his friend, Marko Vukcic.

From Quiz Journey to Montenegro

Niksic was founded in the fourth century. It is located near Mount Trebjesa. It is one of the industrial centres of the country, which also has a lot of remains of the Roman period. Many of these can be found in the local museum.

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.

10. The name Montenegro refers to a mountain in the Italian-Venetian language. What colour is that mountain?

From Quiz Journey to Montenegro

Answer: Black

Montenegro means "black mountain" in the Italian-Venetian language. In Montenegrin it is called Crna Gora, which also means "black mountain". 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.

11. The island of Sveti Stefan in Montenegro is well-known for what?

From Quiz Lost in Montenegro

Answer: Luxury hotel

The island lies to the southeast of Budva and is joined to the mainland by a causeway. It was established as an exclusive resort for those who could afford it in the 1960s, although it fell from favour during the breakup of Yugoslavia. Among celebrities who visited it during its heyday were Elizabeth Taylor, the UK's Princess Margaret and Kirk Douglas. The resort was re-developed in 2009, when it became the property of Aman Resorts and the hotel gained five star status.

The Albanian part is managed as a Nature Reserve. The lake is also known as Shkodër in Albanian and Scutari in Italian.

15. Montenegro forms part of the catchment area for which major European river?

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.
