Visão geral
ME-CBN-01 is Montenegro's child-derivation route: the pathway by which a minor acquires Montenegrin citizenship 'by admission' (prijemom) on the back of a parent's (or adoptive parent's) acquisition, rather than by the child's own naturalisation. It is governed entirely by Article 16 of the Law on Montenegrin Citizenship (Zakon o crnogorskom drzavljanstvu, Sl. list CG 13/2008 as consolidated through 77/2024). Within the Article 4 taxonomy of four acquisition modes — origin, territorial birth, admission, treaty — Article 16 is a sub-mode of admission (mode 3), and this classification is consequential: a child who derives under Art 16 is registered under the admission basis (osnov prijema) in the citizens' register, in the SAME acquisition mode as a naturalised adult, and distinctly from a child who acquires by origin under Arts 5-6 (Art 34). Article 16 covers three factual configurations: (1) BOTH parents acquired Montenegrin citizenship by admission; (2) ONE parent acquired by admission AND the child legally and continuously resides in Montenegro with that parent; and (3) the child, in the case of incomplete/partial adoption, legally and continuously resides in Montenegro with a Montenegrin-citizen adopter. All three configurations sit beneath a single chapeau condition that embeds Montenegro's single-nationality preference: the child must NOT hold the citizenship of another state, or must have release (otpust) from it. This is a signature route because it is the load-bearing mechanism for keeping families' nationality status unified after naturalisation, it interlocks with the marriage (Art 11), emigrant (Art 10) and ordinary naturalisation (Art 8) routes that bring the parent in, it carries distinctive consent architecture (other-parent consent plus the over-14 child's own consent), and it is the admission-side counterpart to the origin-side full-adoption rule of Art 6(3).

eligible — Art 16(1) derivation; both parents naturalized and the no-other-citizenship chapeau is satisfied.
Art 16(1) (ME-PRIMARY-01:Art 16; ME-ASSERT-019): a child acquires citizenship by admission where BOTH parents acquired Montenegrin citizenship through naturalization. The Art 16 chapeau (ME-ASSERT-018) requires that the child not hold another citizenship OR have release — here he has been released from Serbian citizenship. At 10 (≤14) no separate consent is required. Eligible by derivation (recorded as acquisition 'by admission').
eligible — Art 16(2) single-naturalized-parent derivation with residence and other-parent consent.
Art 16(2) (ME-ASSERT-020/021): where ONE parent naturalized and the child lives legally and continuously in Montenegro WITH that parent, the child acquires citizenship by admission, provided the OTHER parent consents (saglasnost) — unless that parent is stateless. The father's written consent is supplied; the Art 16 chapeau is met (release from Bosnian citizenship). At 12 (≤14) no separate child consent is needed. Eligible.
not eligible — the Art 16 chapeau bars derivation because she retains another citizenship without release.
Art 16 chapeau (ME-ASSERT-018): the child must NOT hold another citizenship OR must have release (otpust) from it — this embeds Montenegro's single-nationality preference into child derivation. Her retention of Russian citizenship without release defeats Art 16(2). (Additionally, at 14 her own consent would be required under Art 16's final paragraph — ME-ASSERT-022.) Not eligible unless she obtains release.
not eligible (as filed) — a child older than 14 must personally consent to Art 16 derivation; without consent it cannot proceed.
Art 16 final paragraph (ME-ASSERT-022): where a child being derived into citizenship under Art 16 is older than 14, the child's own consent (pristanak) is additionally required. At 16 his refusal blocks the derivation regardless of the father's naturalization. (Separately, Art 16(2) would require him to live with the naturalized parent in Montenegro, which he does not.) Not eligible without his consent.
