סקירה כללית
ME-NAT-01 is ordinary naturalization (prijem u crnogorsko drzavljanstvo / redovni) — the general, residence-based admission route into Montenegrin citizenship for an adult foreigner who has no descent, birth-territory, or treaty claim. It sits within the four-mode acquisition architecture of the Law on Montenegrin Citizenship (Zakon o crnogorskom drzavljanstvu): Art 4 lists acquisition by (1) origin (porijeklo, Arts 5-6), (2) birth on territory (Art 7), (3) admission/reception (prijem, Arts 8-16), and (4) ratified international treaty (Art 18). ME-NAT-01 is the parent of the entire admission family: Art 8 states the eight cumulative baseline conditions, and every other admission route (Art 10 emigrant, Art 11 marriage, Art 12 extraordinary state-interest, Art 13 refugee, Art 14 stateless, Art 15 born-in-ME/resident-before-18, Art 16 child derivation) is drafted as a lex specialis that waives or shortens a defined SUBSET of those Art 8 conditions. Who qualifies: a person aged 18, in accordance with the interests of Montenegro (u skladu sa interesima Crne Gore), who has lived in Montenegro legally and continuously for 10 years, has been released from any prior citizenship, has secured housing and stable income, has no disqualifying conviction, has basic Montenegrin-language ability, raises no security/defence obstacle, and has settled tax obligations. The route is decisively shaped by Montenegro's near-absolute single-nationality policy: ordinary naturalization is conditioned on renunciation of the prior nationality (Art 8(1)(2)), softened only by the narrow Art 8(2) carve-outs and the Art 9 guarantee-act (garantni akt) mechanism that lets an applicant lock in a conditional grant for two years while arranging release. ME-NAT-01 is operative today; the much-discussed 10-to-5-year reduction is a draft proposal only and is NOT enacted — the post-77/2024 consolidated text still requires 10 years.

eligible (via the Art 8(2) relaxation of the release condition).
Art 8(2) (ME-ASSERT-040): the Art 8(1)(2) release condition does not apply where release was refused because the applicant had not regulated military obligation in his country — provided he signs a statement renouncing the other citizenship upon acquiring Montenegrin citizenship. He meets 10 years' residence (item 3) and the other conditions, so with the signed renunciation statement he qualifies notwithstanding the inability to obtain formal release.
eligible — Art 8 ordinary naturalization; all eight cumulative conditions met.
Art 8(1) (ME-PRIMARY-01:Art 8; ME-ASSERT-031): cumulative conditions — 18+ (1); release from Italian citizenship, which she accepts (2); 10 years legal continuous residence counted from PERMANENT residence per U-III 1363/19 (3), which she meets; secured accommodation/income (4); no >1yr prison (5); basic Montenegrin (6); no security obstacle (7); settled taxes (8). All satisfied → eligible.
not eligible (yet) — the 10-year residence under Art 8(1)(3) runs from permanent residence, and he has only 3 years of that.
Apex Ustavni sud U-III 1363/19 (decided 23 Nov 2023; ME-ASSERT-045) interprets Art 8(1)(3) 'legal and continuous residence' as counted from the grant of PERMANENT residence (boravak na neodređeno vrijeme), NOT from temporary residence, per the Government's Odluka o kriterijumima (Art 2). Despite 11 years' physical presence, his clock started ~3 years ago. He must accrue 10 years of permanent residence; not yet eligible.
not eligible — ordinary naturalization requires release from prior citizenship (Art 8(1)(2)); refusal to renounce is disqualifying.
Art 8(1)(2) (ME-ASSERT-033): admission is conditioned on release (otpust) from the prior citizenship, reflecting Montenegro's anti-dual-citizenship regime (consistent with its reservation to ECN Art 16, EIF 1 Oct 2010 — ME-ASSERT-079). His refusal to renounce Turkish citizenship defeats the application. (He could begin via an Art 9 guarantee act, but would still ultimately have to provide release proof; he is unwilling.)
not eligible — Art 8(1)(5) criminal-record bar.
Art 8(1)(5) (ME-ASSERT-036): the applicant must not have been sentenced (in Montenegro or abroad) to an unconditional prison term of MORE than one year for an ex-officio offence, unless the legal consequences have ceased. His 2-year unconditional sentence, with consequences still running, is disqualifying. (Had criminal proceedings merely been pending, Art 8(3) would suspend the admission process — ME-ASSERT-041.)
conditional — eligible via the Art 9 guarantee act (garantni akt), which resolves the order-of-operations problem; final acquisition follows submission of release proof within two years.
Art 9 (ME-ASSERT-043): a person who applied for admission but does not yet have release may be issued a guarantee act that he WILL acquire Montenegrin citizenship once he meets the Art 8(1) conditions. The guarantee act is valid two years; the proceeding is suspended if within two years he fails to submit the Art 8(1)(2) release proof. This is the standard mechanism where the home state (China) requires proof of the new citizenship before releasing — he meets the substantive conditions, so he is eligible subject to completing release within the two-year window.
