At the Montenegrin embassy in Serbia, Statehood Day was marked with a ceremonial reception, in memory of 13 July 1878, when Montenegro was recognized as a Principality as the twenty-seventh independent state in the world at the Berlin Congress. On the same date in 1941 Montenegrin people began their uprising against fascism.
The celebration was attended by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, as well as numerous representatives of the diplomatic corps.
