Emergency numbers & getting help
Keep the official emergency numbers and essential contacts close at hand.
In a genuine emergency, call 112. This page provides contact information and does not replace an emergency service.
Emergency helplines
Tap a number to call. 112 is the general emergency line; the other numbers connect directly to the listed service.
What is the general emergency number?
Call 112 for emergency assistance. Give your location as clearly as possible and follow the operator’s instructions. Use a map pin or a nearby landmark if helpful.
Which direct emergency numbers are listed?
Montenegro’s communications regulator lists 122 for police, 123 for fire and rescue, 124 for emergency medical assistance and 129 for assistance at sea. The general emergency number is 112.
What if I lose my passport?
Contact your country’s embassy or consulate for instructions about replacement travel documents. Ask the local police about reporting a loss or theft, and contact your insurer where relevant.
What contacts should I save before travelling?
Save your accommodation, travel insurer’s assistance line and your embassy or consulate. Keep copies of essential documents accessible securely offline.
What information should I give the operator?
Start with the location and what has happened, then provide a callback number and answer the operator’s questions. A town name alone can be insufficient in a rural area: an address, landmark or map location can help identify the place. Follow the operator’s instructions and do not use a real emergency line to test whether your phone works. The service cards above distinguish the general 112 line from direct service numbers.
