Refresh, Montenegro's summer music festival, will be held in the Maximus disco in Kotor's old town from 7th - 10th August this year. Promoted by the Exit team responsible for Serbia's famous Novi Sad festival, the event promises to be an exciting one, with DJ Dave Clarke among those appearing.

The prestigious Blue Flag will be displayed this year on eighteen of Montenegro's beaches, demonstrating they have met the demanding criteria stipulated by this global environmental campaign. The Blue Flag is a symbol of high ecological standards in environmental management and protection, water quality, and also safety standards at beaches and in marinas. An important aspect of the campaign is raising public awareness of environmental concerns. Blue Flags are awarded for only one season at a time. The campaign was launched in Montenegro in 2003.
