Helplines in Montenegro

If anyone is in immediate danger, call 112, or 124 for an ambulance and 122 for the police. For psychological help and support, the free SOS line run by the Clinical Centre of Montenegro answers on 1555 every day from 09:00 to 18:00, staffed by psychologists and psychotherapists.

The services listed here work in Montenegrin, and none of them states that it offers English. If you don't speak the language, still call when you need to. Emergency services usually find a way to help, and the 112 number is the best place to start outside office hours. It can also help to have a local friend or colleague with you when you call.

Women and anyone experiencing violence at home can call the national SOS line on 080 111 111. It is coordinated by SOS telefon za žene i djecu žrtve nasilja in Nikšić, an organisation for women and children affected by violence, and offers help, advice and support. Shelter addresses are kept confidential so that abusers cannot find them; the helpline is the safe way in and can arrange a place for you and your children.
