Has Starlink officially launched in Montenegro?+
Not yet. As of 16 August 2026 the commercial launch has not happened: the service is not sold to end users and Montenegro does not appear in the country list at checkout. That said, Starlink Montenegro d.o.o. was incorporated in Podgorica on 29 April 2026 and is registered with the Tax Administration — one regulatory step remains, entry into the EKIP operator registry. No official sales does not mean no signal: technically the satellites cover Montenegro and an imported terminal works here.
When exactly will it launch?+
There is no confirmed date, and none has been announced publicly. The launch was planned for the end of Q2 2026 and that deadline passed. Every formal step except the operator registry is already done, so launch could come at any time. We re-check the status regularly and update this page — the date of the last check is shown at the top.
How much will Starlink cost in Montenegro?+
No official prices have been announced for Montenegro. Croatia is a reasonable reference — the nearest euro-zone country where the service already runs: Residential there is €29/month for 100 Mbps, €39 for 200 Mbps and €59 for the Max plan at 400+ Mbps (checked on Starlink's site on 16 August 2026). Treat this as an estimate, not a Montenegrin price: Starlink sets tariffs per country and may price differently.
So does Starlink work in Montenegro or not?+
Three different things get mixed up here. Technically it works: the satellites cover Montenegro, an imported terminal connects and delivers normal speeds. Commercially it is not sold: Montenegro is not in the country list at checkout and there is no local licence yet, so you cannot simply buy a kit here. And contractually, using an account registered in another country falls under Starlink's international travel rules — and those come with limits worth knowing in advance.
Which plan do I need to use it in Montenegro within the rules?+
Starlink groups European countries into one region, and travel inside that region does not count as international. Montenegro is not in that group — we checked the full list in Starlink's own help centre. The consequence matters: the €40 Roam plan officially covers only your home country and group, so it does not cover Montenegro. You need Roam Unlimited (€89/month), which allows up to 30 days at a time outside your home country, with the allowance resetting when you return home. For continuous use with no time limit, only Global Priority qualifies. This policy is new — in force for new customers since 14 July 2026 and for existing ones from 17 August 2026 — so any guide written earlier is out of date.
Will Starlink work in the mountains — in Žabljak and Durmitor?+
Technically, mountains are not a problem for satellite internet: the dish needs a clear view of the sky, not proximity to a city — which is exactly why Starlink matters for northern Montenegro, where fixed internet is slow or absent. What does need attention is winter: snow and ice on the dish. Starlink dishes can heat themselves and melt snow, but the mounting spot must be chosen so that snow does not slide onto it from the roof and trees do not block the view.
Who will install the dish in Montenegro?+
At launch there will most likely be no organised installation service in the country — that is what happened in neighbouring markets in the first months. Installation is more than putting a dish on the ground: it needs a bracket or a mast, a safe cable route, a sealed wall pass-through and decent Wi-Fi coverage across the house. We are preparing such a service and building a waiting list — the form is at the bottom of this page.
