ME — Montenegro

Montenegro is a small Balkan country on the Adriatic coast, independent from Serbia since 2006. Podgorica is the capital, while Cetinje is the historical royal capital. Montenegro's stunning Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Montenegro uses the Euro unilaterally (without an agreement with the ECB). For developers, the ME country code and .me domain are extremely notable — the .me ccTLD has been brilliantly marketed as a personal branding domain and is one of the most commercially successful ccTLDs worldwide (wordpress.me, about.me, etc.). The +382 calling code serves Montenegro. Montenegro's unilateral Euro adoption (without ECB agreement) is different from official Eurozone membership — applications should include Montenegro in EUR currency usage but not in official Eurozone member lists. Montenegrin is closely related to Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian, creating linguistic overlap. The .me domain's massive commercial success generates significant revenue for the small nation.
