The Holy See and Montenegro agreed to establish diplomatic relations and exchange ambassadors on 16 December 2006, and Montenegro's ambassador Antun Sbutega presented his credentials at the Vatican on 22 January 2007. Three days later, Pope Benedict XVI named Archbishop Angelo Mottola as its first Apostolic Nuncio to Montenegro. [1]
