President Rouhani expressed his hope that bilateral relations between Tehran and Podgorica would be reinforced in the future.
He also wished prosperity and progress for the people of Montenegro.
National (Statehood) Day is a holiday that occurs every year on July 13 in Montenegro to commemorate the day in 1878 on which the Berlin Congress recognized Montenegro as the twenty-seventh independent state in the world, and that in 1941 the Montenegrins staged an uprising against the Nazi occupiers and sided with the partisan communist movement.
