The honorary consulate represents Belarus in Montenegro. According to the Government of Montenegro’s list of honorary consuls (gov.me, accessed 19 October 2026), the honorary consul is Borislav Mijović. No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +382 20 648 841 or e-mail ljetopis@ljetopisautomotive.co.me.

Until 31 October 2026, citizens of Belarus may stay in Montenegro for up to 30 days without a visa, according to Montenegro’s Decree on Visa Regime; this temporary exemption ends on that date, so from 1 November 2026 a visa is required. Montenegro is not part of the Schengen area.
Which Belarusian office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Belarusian citizens are handled by the Belarusian Embassy in Belgrade (accredited to Montenegro).
Belarus has no embassy in Montenegro. According to the Diplomatic List of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro (October 2026), the Embassy of Belarus in Belgrade (Serbia) is accredited to Montenegro: Deligradska 13, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; tel. +381 11 3616 938; e-mail serbia@mfa.gov.by.
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Belarus and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Belarusian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
