[edit] Please keep map

Nije bitno, I have reverted your last edit (in which you removed the map). Native English-speakers are unfamiliar with the Balkans and I believe that the map is indispensible.

Perhaps you were upset that your Millennium bridge photo was moved down the page. This was done to place it next to the paragraph that describes the bridge.

In any case, I believe there's room for the map and all the photos in the article. Thanks. Madman 19:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map kept!

I edited the "montenegro infobox" template so it can host a map with the city location. I also created a CIA Factbook - style maps with clearly indicated city locations for those cities which I have edited.

I put the "Old ribnica bridge" picture on top, and "Millenium bridge" picture on the bottom of "History" section, as it symbolizes the change og Podgorica throughout the history.

I also think that that "Areas of Podgorica" should be removed, as that is no relevant information for a city of some 150 000 citizens, and will not help anyone to learn anything about Podgorica.

Nije bitno... 21:21, 2 April 2006

[edit] Pronunciation

How is the name of this place pronounced? Is it simply said as it is spelt? --Ukdan999 01:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

    Pronounced something like "poad-go-ree-tsa" Nije bitno... 14:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Montenegrin language

- Please stop removing city's name in Montenegrin language, as over 25% residents of Podgorica, and over 22% of Montenegrins speaks it.

- Because the constitution of Montenegro states that the official language is Serbian, and because VAST majority of population of Montenegro speak Serbian (cca 62%), it is then correct to say that the language is Serbian and NOT Montenegrin. Moreover, "Montenegrin" language is under dispute according to recognized lingustists and many consider is to be a political invention. Therefore, stop changing the name of language to "Montenegrin"

C'mon people, we all know very well what would be "mother tongue" results if a census would be held today. There's simply no need to stick the ethnopolitical divisions into every single article; either use "Serbian/Montenegrin" or just "Cyrillic". Duja► 09:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Casino Royale

Any actual Casinos in Podgorica? --81.105.251.160 18:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, a few. There were once four big casinos in Podgorica, but today only the one in Hotel Crna Gora is operational. There are also dozens of small "casinos", but they mosly feature an electric roulette and slot machines, not any card games played. There is much more exciting gambling scene on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro...casino at Maestral hotel is internationally famous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nije bitno...

[edit] Not a capital

See Article 7 of the Constitution. Cetinje is the capital, P. - administrative centre. 217.198.224.13 21:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Millennium bridge

Koje je izvorno ime? Most Milenijum ili Milenijumski most? --BokicaK 06:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Nije bitno, našao sam. --BokicaK 07:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Podgorica - more photos needed

Hi, if you could please put more photos of Podgorica, so the presentation of this Montenegrin city can be more extensive. One photo is worth a thousand words. Take a look at Sarajevo as an example of how things should be done. Bosniak 04:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
