The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Montenegro: Montenegro – sovereign country located on the Balkan Peninsula in Southern Europe. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the south and borders Croatia to the west, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the northwest, Serbia and Kosovo to the northeast, Albania to the southeast. Its capital and largest city is Podgorica, while Cetinje is designated as the ''Prijestonica'' (meaning the old royal capital or former seat of the throne). The thousand-year history of the Montenegrin state begins in the 9th century with the emergence of Duklja, a vassal state of Byzantium. In those formative years, Duklja was ruled by the Vojislavljevic dynasty. In 1042, at the end of his 25-year rule, King Vojislav won a decisive battle near Bar against Byzantium, and Duklja became independent. Duklja's power and prosperity reached their zenith under King Vojislav's son, King Mihailo (1046–81), and his son King Bodin (1081–1101).〔http://www.montenegro.org/duklja.html〕 From the 11th century, it started to be referred to as Zeta. It ended with its incorporation into Raska, and beginning with the Crnojevic dynasty, Zeta was more often referred to as Crna Gora or by the Venetian term '. A sovereign principality〔http://www.montenegro.org/balsic.html〕 since the Late Middle Ages, Montenegro saw its independence from the Ottoman Empire formally recognized in 1878. From 1918, it was a part of various incarnations of Yugoslavia. On the basis of a referendum held on 21 May 2006, Montenegro declared independence on 3 June. On 28 June 2006, it became the 192nd member state of the United Nations,〔(List of members to the United Nations by joining date )〕 and on 11 May 2007 the 47th member state of the Council of Europe.〔(Directorate of Communication - The Republic of Montenegro becomes 47th Council of Europe member state )〕 On 15 December 2008, Montenegro presented its official application to the European Union, with the hopes of gaining EU candidate status by 2009.〔(Montenegro files EU membership application )〕 == General reference == * Pronunciation: * Common English country name: Montenegro * Official English country name: Montenegro * Common endonym(s): * Official endonym(s): * Adjectival(s): Montenegrin * Demonym(s): * Etymology: Name of Montenegro * International rankings of Montenegro * ISO country codes: ME, MNE, 499 * ISO region codes: See ISO 3166-2:ME * Internet country code top-level domain: .me 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outline of Montenegro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
