Montenegrins in Germany

Montenegrins living in Germany (German: Montenegriner in Deutschland) are supported and represented by various associations.[2] They number around 30,000. Some Montenegrins immigrated during the 1960s and 1970s as Gastarbeiter ("guest workers") when Montenegro was still a part of Yugoslavia. A minority arrived as refugees during the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s.

In 2015, approximately 6,000 attempted to travel into Germany to seek asylum but were unsuccessful.[3][4] In 2016, 683 Montenegrins were granted work permits. In 2017, this number rose to 876[5]. In 2018, Germany made it easier for Montenegrins to gain a work permit.
