The Montenegrin Olympic Committee (Montenegrin: Crnogorski olimpijski komitet; IOC Code: MNE) is the National Olympic Committee representing Montenegro. It is the umbrela sports organization in Montenegro, responsible for promoting the Olympic ideals and for ensuring that Montenegro is represented with athletes at the Olympic Games and other multi-sport events. The committee's president, as of January 2008, is Dušan Simonović.

Members of the committee are 16 Olympic sports federations, which elect the Executive Committee composed of the president and sixteen members.

The MOC organized the 2019 Games of the Small States of Europe in Budva.

History

[edit]

Following the May 2006 independence referendum, which saw Montenegro become a sovereign country, Montenegro's Olympic Committee (COK) was recognized as the 204th national member of the International Olympic Committee on 7 July 2007 at the 119th IOC session in Guatemala City, with the new assigned IOC code "MNE".

Montenegro's first appearance in the Olympics as an independent state came little more than a year later, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where it was represented by a team of 19 athletes, including 13 members of the national water polo team.
