Montenegrin statistics has its roots in the mid 19th century when censuses were conducted for the needs of Montenegrin Principality. Establishment of an independent statistical department on 15th of May 1909 could be taken as the start date for statistical service work in Montenegro. However, organization of statistical service in our country followed development and reforms of the state administration.
