It can change daily and is influenced by a number of factors, including the global economy and inflation. Even though Montenegro isn’t a member of the EU, it still uses the euro as a currency. Since the euro yields more when you exchange it for Hong Kong dollars, you can expect to be pay a little more than a dollar for each euro you need to send.Emergency cash transfers to Montenegro
