TEN TOP UK-MONTENEGRO FACTS

1. British agent Fitzroy McLean was parachuted into Montenegro's rocky mountains with a brief to find Tito and cooperate to drive out the fascists and nazis from the Balkans. Mission accomplished!

2. In 1912, Great Britain built an embassy in Montenegro's former royal capital city Cetinje in the style of an English country house. It is used as the Montenegro University Music Academy these days. 

3. In 1907, a competition held by the Times of London to find the most beautiful woman in the world was won by a Montenegrin beauty from the Lake Skadar village of Godinje. Simple peasant woman Milena Delibasic was asked to attend by her king, Nikola Petrovic, but afterwards chose to return to her village where press cuttings of her moment of fame are kept to this day.

4. The British TV series 'Only Fools and Horses' is wildly popular in Montenegro. Actor Nicholas Lindhurst has visit several times and a pub in Montenegro's capital city Podgorica is named 'The Nag's Head' in honour of the show.

6. London was the base for Montenegro's royalist government in exile during WW2.
