Montenegro

Montenegrin plates carry a blue band on the left and a crest in the middle, giving the plate a faint reddish tint. You will still see plain white plates as well.

Expect white, jagged rock faces . Because neighbouring countries share bollard styles, double-check for cracked imagery or a red spot on the plate.

Many mountainous guardrails are black and heavily rusted. Non-black guardrails do exist , and angular rails may appear near the Bosnian border .

Look for whitewashed houses set against pale rocky hillsides.

Greece and the surrounding Balkans share fuel brands like EKO; spotting them can confirm the region.

Serbia and Montenegro both host the IDEA supermarket chain. (References IDEA)
