Orders, decorations, and medals of Montenegro

The Government of Montenegro established a national honours system consisting of orders, decorations, and medals approximately a year after the independence of Montenegro in 2006.

The President of Montenegro is the titular head of the national honours system and decrees and invests each honoree on the advise and approval of the Government of Montenegro.

Each order consists of several grades and each honour may be bestowed on nationals and foreigners alike.

• Order of the Republic of Montenegro (Orden Republike Crne Gore)
• Order of the Montenegrin Great Star (Orden Crnogorske velike zvijezde)
• Order of the Montenegrin Flag (Orden Crnogorske zastave)
• Order for Bravery (Orden za hrabrost)
• Order of Work (Orden rada)
• Medal for Bravery (Medalja za hrabrost)
• Medal for Humanitarianism (Medalja za čovjekoljublja)
• Medal for Service (Medalja za zasluge)

Dynastic awards

The Kingdom of Montenegro issued its own royal awards up until the monarchy's abolition in 1918. Today, the head of Montenegrin Royal House, Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, has continued to award dynastic honours and this practice is recognised by the Montenegrin State. The three dynastic Orders bestowed by the Royal House are:

• Order of Prince Danilo I
• Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje
• Order of Petrovic Njegos
