To stop tourists from neighbouring countries bringing all their holiday groceries with them, Monte-negro restricts the
quantity of food which can be brought into the country to 1kg.

Restrictions apply to entering with tobacco (200 cigarettes or 20 cigars or 250g tobacco), alcohol (1L of wine and 1L
of spirits) and perfume (250ml).
»
Amounts greater than €2000 of cash or travellers cheques must be declared when leaving the country. If you're enter-
ing with a large sum and think you might have more than €2000 left when you leave, complete a currency declaration
form on arrival or you may find your money confiscated on departure.

Drug laws are similar to most other European countries. Possession or trafficking of drugs could result in a lengthy
jail sentence.

When you enter the country you need to receive an entry stamp in your passport. If you don't, you may be detained
