Montenegrin-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - For the Adriatic Coast, Its Seasonal Jobs and Its Property Market

Montenegrin and Georgian: two small countries with more traffic than you would think

Georgians can enter Montenegro without a visa, and every summer thousands work the Adriatic season in hotels, restaurants, marinas and construction in Budva, Kotor, Tivat, Bar and Herceg Novi under privremeni boravak i rad permits; some stay, buy apartments and start businesses. Montenegrin companies in tourism, shipping and construction look at Georgia's Black Sea coast as a comparable market, Montenegrin tourists discover Georgian wine and mountains, and the two countries' parallel EU accession paths bring officials, consultants and NGOs back and forth. Every one of these connections produces documents.

Montenegro's language is standardized as Montenegrin, with its own two extra letters (ś and ź) and official use of both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, and it is mutually intelligible with Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian - which means a Montenegrin office may receive documents in any of these standards and a Georgian office may receive a Montenegrin document in either alphabet. Montenegro certifies translations through sudski tumači appointed by the Ministry of Justice; Georgia has the notarized translation. Our team handles all four standards and both scripts, with native editors and a partner sudski tumač in Podgorica for re-certification where offices insist, from David Agmashenebeli Ave 117.
