Montenegro, a small country situated in Southeast Europe, is characterised by diverse geographical characteristics, including coastal areas, high mountains, and low plains. With a population of approximately 620,000, the population distribution is uneven due to the varied terrain, leading to a high density along the coast and sparse habitation in mountainous regions. The country's telecommunications sector is relatively mature, with solid infrastructure in urban areas and ongoing efforts to improve rural connectivity.
