Transit: airside transit: conditional; landside transit: conditional; Montenegro's visa-free wording covers entry, transit and stay. Actual transit checks still depend on airport, route, ticketing and whether the traveller crosses border control.; Transit source (opens in a new tab) Transit guide

Why this verdict

Russian citizens are mapped from Montenegro's official visa-regime source as visa-free for ordinary short visits, transit and stays of up to 30 days. This guidance is intentionally conservative: supporting visas, residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, border checks and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
