Montenegro is to hold its second international jazz festival in August.

The free festival will be staged in the pretty coastal town of Petrovac between August 30th and September 2nd, with musicians from all over Europe expected to play.

Pop superstar Madonna is to play a concert in Montenegro this summer.

The concert, which is expected to take place on Budva's Jaz beach, will be part of a world tour to celebrate the singer's 50th birthday. Last year rock legends the Rolling Stones played the same venue to crowds of enthusiastic fans.
