Prayer times in Montenegro

Montenegro has a Muslim community of approximately 19 to 20 percent of the population per the 2011 census, numbering roughly 120,000 people, comprising the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) and Albanian ethnic groups concentrated in the northern Sandžak region and along the Albanian border. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Hanafi school, with Islam dating in Montenegro to the Ottoman period (1496–1878 in most regions). The Husein-Pasha Mosque in Pljevlja, built in 1569 by the Ottoman official Hussein Pasha Boljanic, is among the oldest and most architecturally distinguished surviving Ottoman-era mosques in the Balkans, with an interior dome and minaret of notable craftsmanship. The Sultan Bajazit II Mosque in Bar (1596) and the Old Mosque of Podgorica (Stara Varošnjak) are also significant historical sites. The Islamic Community of Montenegro (Islamska zajednica u Crnoj Gori), with its Mešihat in Podgorica, is the recognized national authority and operates under a 2012 framework agreement with the state, alongside the parallel Islamic Community of Sandžak. eSalah uses MWL; Diyanet alternate.
