Greek Catholics in Montenegro

Since 2013, there is no longer any Eastern Catholic jurisdictions covering Montenegro, and all Byzantine Rite Catholics in the country are under jurisdiction of local bishops of the Latin Church.

Before 2013, Montenegro was part of the jurisdiction of the Greek Catholic Church of Croatia and Serbia, first in the territory of the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Križevci (est.

1777), seated in Croatia, and then of the Greek Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Serbia and Montenegro (2003-2013).

The Apostolic Exarchate, seated in Ruski Krstur, in northern Serbia, had 21 parishes and 22,720 faithful, consisting mostly of a Pannonian Rusyns in the region of Vojvodina.
