Yugoslavia Consulate in Tivat
Montenegro offers a unique historical experience at the Yugoslavia Consulate in Tivat, a museum-like site that preserves the legacy of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1989.
Discovering the Yugoslavia Consulate in Tivat
It might sound unusual in other destinations, but in Tivat, an extremely interesting and tourist-attractive spot is the consulate of a former state. This place, the Consulate of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, serves more as a museum memory of the past period (1945–1989) and is located not far from the Pine promenade in Tivat.
Opened almost three years ago, the honorable consul Marko Perkovic has made this place appealing to both people nostalgic for Yugoslavia and young individuals with little knowledge about the former communist entity. Consequently, from May to October, the Yugoslavia Consulate in Tivat has become a popular tourist attraction.
What to See and Experience at the Consulate
Inside the consulate, visitors can view flags and uniforms of the former president of SFRJ, Josip Broz Tito. Moreover, in front of the building, there is one of the more prestigious vehicles from the 1960s, a state limousine used to transport Tito.
The building is filled with numerous symbols that evoke memories of the former Yugoslavia. Indeed, you can hear the anthem “Hej Sloveni,” sign the visitor’s book, and as a memento, receive a red passport with SFRJ symbols, which was highly valued in the past.
