Starting from June, same-sex marriages can take place in the British consulate in Montenegrin capital, Podgorica, local media reported on Tuesday.

Montenegro is on a list of 24 countries where the British Government allows same sex couples to marry in British Consulates.

Montenegro's government on Monday announced that the country will allow same-sex marriages in the near future.

Jovan Kojicic, Human Rights Adviser to the Prime Minister, said Montenegro was drawing up the legal framework to permit same-sex partners to legalize their relationships soon.
