Montenegro's Independence Day (May 21) marks the 2006 referendum by which it became the last of the former Yugoslav republics to become fully independent, one of the most recent state-formation dates on this entire list. Statehood Day is marked over two days (July 13 and the following day), commemorating both an 1878 recognition and a 1941 anti-fascist uprising.

Montenegro has 24 public holidays in 2027, 11 more than the global average of 13.
6 public holidays fall on a weekend in Montenegro in 2027: New Year's Day (Saturday, January 2), Labour Day (Saturday, May 1), Labour Day (Sunday, May 2), Independence Day (Saturday, May 22), Christmas Day (Saturday, December 25), Christmas Day (Sunday, December 26). Montenegro substitutes some of these with a working day but not others.

The next public holiday in Montenegro is Jom Kipur (Yom Kippur) on September 21, 2026.
Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha), Pesach, Yom Kippur do not fall on the same date every year in Montenegro, since they are set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
