Russia is playing the long game in Montenegro, and NATO would do well to pay attention. Since 2016, it has used cyberattacks and coup attempts to redirect Podgorica toward its influence, and most recently, it landed a key ally in a powerful government position. Montenegro drifting toward Russia would not only mean a weaker NATO flank, but also losing a strategically placed ally that has become a strong regional leader in cybersecurity.
