In a message to Montenegro’s President Filip Vujanovic, which was released on Wednesday, President Rouhani congratulated him on the European country’s Statehood Day and hoped that Tehran-Podgorica ties would be strengthened in all spheres.
He also wished Vujanovic health and success and the people of Montenegro prosperity and progress.
Montenegro’s Statehood Day is a holiday that is celebrated on July 13 every year to commemorate the day in 1878 on which the Berlin Congress recognized Montenegro as the twenty-seventh independent state in the world.
On this same date in 1941, the people of Montenegro began the uprising against the Germans.
