It is at {{coor dms|42|28|12|N|19|16|48|E|type:city}}, 44m above sea level. A census in 2003 put the city's population at 136,473. Its favourable position, at the confluence of the [[Ribnica River|Ribnica]] and [[Morača River|Morača]] rivers and the meeting point of the fertile [[Zeta plain]] and [[Bjelopavlići Valley]] has encouraged settlement. The city is close to winter ski centres in the north and seaside resorts on the [[Adriatic|Adriatic Sea]]. The municipality of Podgorica contains 10.4% of Montenegro's territory and 27.3% of its population. It is the administrative centre of Montenegro and its economic, cultural and educational focus. ==Name== The name means "under the Gorica" in [[Montenegrin language|Montenegrin]] language. Gorica (meaning "little mountain") is the name of the hill that overlooks the city centre. About 3km northwest of Podgorica are the ruins of [[Duklja|''Doclea'']], a town known in pre-Roman and [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] times. The [[Roman Emperor]] [[Diocletian]] came from this region. In later centuries, Romans "corrected" the name to ''Dioclea'', guessing wrongly that an "i" had been lost in vulgar speech. "Duklja" is the later (Slavic) version of that word. When founded (before the 11th century), the town was called '''Birziminium'''. In the [[Middle Ages]], it was known as '''Ribnica'''. The name '''Podgorica''' was used from 1326. From 1946 to 1992 it was called [[List of places named after Tito|'''Titograd''']]. ==History== [[Image:Podgorica City hall.JPG|thumb|City hall]] [[Image:Podgorica Ressurection church.JPG|thumb|Resurrection Church]] Podgorica is at the [[Crossroads (culture)|crossroads]] of several important routes: the rivers [[Zeta River|Zeta]], [[Morača River|Morača]], [[Cijevna]], [[Ribnica River|Ribnica]], and [[Sitnica River|Sitnica]], in the valley of [[Skadar lake]] and near the [[Adriatic Sea]], in fertile lowlands with favourable climate. The earliest human settlements were in prehistory: the oldest physical remains are from the late [[Stone Age]]. In the [[Illyria]]n age, the area between the [[Zeta plain|Zeta]] and [[Bjelopavlići]] valleys was occupied by two Illyrian tribes, the [[List of Illyrian tribes|Labeates]] and the [[Docleatae|Docleats]]. The Labeati occupied the area from [[Skadar]] to today's Podgorica. They had their own fortress, Meteon (now [[Medun]]) and a well-developed way of life, especially militarily. Docleats also lived in the valley of the [[Zeta River]] and, thanks to the fertile plain and favourable geographical and road position, enjoyed fast economic growth. Their biggest settlement was [[Duklja|''Doclea'']], a city about 3km northwest of today's Podgorica and which reflected the local terrain. The population of the city was 8,000-10,000, in which all core urban issues were resolved. The high population density (in an area of about 10km radius) was made possible by the geographical position, favourable climate and economic conditions and by the defensive positions that were of great importance at that time. From the 5th century, with the arrival of the first [[Slavic peoples|Slavic]] and [[Eurasian Avars|Avar]] tribes and the beginning of the break-up of the [[Roman Empire]], the area bore witness to many noteworthy events. With time, the fortifications ceased their function and new towns were built. Slavic groups in the area were in constant war with Byzantium and tended to establish a new state. The result was establishment of a new settlement that was probably named after the river Ribnica on whose banks it was built. The first mention of Ribnica is during the rule of the [[Serbia]]n royal family of the [[House of Nemanjić|Nemanjići]]. The importance of Ribnica was its position as crossroads in communications with the west. In occupying these areas, the [[Slavs]] created a new state and developed their own culture and art, acceptable to the mediaeval church and feudal class. The name Podgorica is first mentioned in 1326 in a court document of the [[Kotor]] archive. The city was economically strong: trade routes between [[Dubrovnik]] and the State of Nemanjici, well developed at that time, were maintained via the road that led to Podgorica through [[Trebinje]] and [[Nikšić]]. As a busy crossroads, Podgorica was a vibrant centre of trade and communication. These augmented its development, economic power, military strength and strategic importance. The Turkish occupation of Podgorica in 1474 interrupted its economic, cultural and artistic development. The [[Ottoman Empire|Turks]] built a large [[fortress]] in Podgorica and the existing settlement, with its highly developed merchant connections, became the main defensive and attacking bastion against rebellious tribes. The fortified city, with towers, gates and defensive ramparts, enabled the Turks to resist all attacks. In 1864, Podgorica became a [[township]] (kaza) of [[Shkodër|İşkodra]] vilayet as Böğürtlen (Turkish "Blackberry"). It was also known Burguriçe in [[Albanian language|Albanian]]. In accordance with the decision of the [[Berlin Congress]] in 1878, Podgorica was integrated to [[Montenegro]]. This was the end of four centuries of Turkish occupation and the start of a new era in the development of Podgorica and Montenegro. The city developed quickly and became a strong market. The first forms of capital concentration were seen. In 1904 the first significant financial institution was formed – Zetska [[savings bank]]. This would soon grow into Podgorička bank. Roads were built to all neighbouring towns and, in 1902, a [[tobacco]] plant became Podgorica's first significant commercial company. Between the two world wars, the population of Podgorica was about 13,000. Podgorica suffered heavily during [[World War II]]: it was bombarded over 70 times and razed to the ground, with the deaths of over 4,100 people. It was liberated on [[December 19]], [[1944]]. Under the name of Titograd, the city became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Montenegro on [[13 July]] [[1946]]. After this, there was a general transformation: material, personnel and scientific/technical potential increased; education experienced strong growth; many new cultural and health institutions were founded. Modern road and air links were established to other parts of Montenegro and beyond. It rapidly became the commercial, socio-economic and cultural centre of the country. The name of Podgorica was reinstated on [[April 2]], [[1992]]. The destructive [[Yugoslav wars]] bypassed Montenegro, but the whole country was greatly affected economically. A period of severe [[economic stagnation]] lasted through the 1990s. The economy began to recover in the early years of the 21st century, when Podgorica began to emerge as a modern pro-western city. It became capital of the sovereign state of Montenegro on [[3 June]] [[2006]], which added to its significance as a regional centre and boosted its economic prospects. ==Population== Although medium-sized by [[Europe]]an standards, Podgorica is by far the largest city in [[Montenegro]]: almost one third of Montenegrins live there. There are about 170,000 people in the Podgorica municipality, including the small towns of [[Tuzi]] and [[Golubovci]]. About 140,000 people live in the city itself. (This is the official data from the 2003 census, but there are estimates of up to 200,000). ''(If the methodology used up to 1991 had been used in the 2003 census, Podgorica city proper would have 140,734 citizens, while the Municipality of Podgorica would have a population of 179,401)'' <div style="float:left; width:30%;"> '''Population of Podgorica (city)''' {| class="wikitable" !width="80px"|Census !width="80px"|Population |- |1948||14,369 |- |1953||19,868 |- |1961||35,054 |- |1971||61,727 |- |1981||96,074 |- |1991||117,875 |- |2003||136,473 |} </div> <div style="float:center; width:40%;"> '''Population of Podgorica (municipality)''' {| class="wikitable" !width="80px"|Census !width="80px"|Population |- |1948||48,599 |- |1953||55,669 |- |1961||72,319 |- |1971||98,796 |- |1981||132,290 |- |1991||179,401 |- |2003||169,132 |} </div> '''Ethnicity in 2003''' {| class="wikitable" !width="100px"|Ethnicity !width="80px"|Number !width="80px"|Percentage |- |[[Montenegrins]]||96,343||56.96% |- |[[Serbs]]||44,423||26.26% |- |[[Albanians]]||19,341||11.42% |- |[[Muslims by nationality|Muslims]]||4,399||2.60% |- |[[Bosniaks]]||2,307||1.36% |- |[[Roma people|Roma]]||1,389||0.82% |- |[[Croats]]||709||0.42%''' |} ==Economy== [[Image:PodgoricaConstruction.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Construction boom in Podgorica]] Podgorica is not only the administrative centre of Montenegro but also its main economic engine. Most of Montenegro's industrial, financial and commercial base is in Podgorica. Before World War I, most of Podgorica's economy was in trade and small-scale manufacture - an economic model established during the long rule of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. After World War II, Podgorica became Montenegro's capital and a focus of the rapid urbanisation and industrialisation of the [[SFRY|Yugoslav era]]. Industries such as [[aluminium]] and [[tobacco]] processing, [[textile industry|textiles]], engineering, vehicle production and industrialised [[wine]] production were established in and around the city. The [[Yugoslav wars]], and the dissolution of Yugoslavia left Podgorica's industries without markets, suppliers or funds to invest and modernise equipment. This led to a decline of many factories, some of which closed down. Those surviving were [[privatization|privatised]] and have now largely recovered. The [[Podgorica Aluminium Plant|Podgorica aluminium smelter]] (''Kombinat aluminijuma Podgorica - KAP'', owned by [[Rusal]]) and AD [[Plantaže]] (a wine and brandy making company) are still among the biggest companies in Podgorica. In the early 21st century, Podgorica's financial and service sector expanded rapidly and its economy became more service-oriented. The two Podgorica [[stock market]]s ([[Montenegro Stock Exchange|Montenegro]] and [[NEX Stock Exchange|NEX]]) now have more turnover than those in much larger cities. Economic activity in Podgorica has mostly shifted from [[heavy industries]] to [[telecommunications]], [[construction]] and [[banking]]. Investors and foreign companies which open outlets in Podgorica add significantly to the growth and diversification of its economy. As a side effect, the prices of property and development land in the centre of Podgorica have increased greatly. This is expected to continue, since Podgorica became the capital of a sovereign state in 2006. ==Geography== Podgorica is located in central Montenegro. The area is crossed with rivers and the city itself is only 15km north of [[Lake Skadar]]. The [[Morača River|Morača]] and [[Ribnica River|Ribnica]] rivers flow through the city, while the [[Zeta River|Zeta]], [[Cijevna River|Cijevna]], [[Sitnica River|Sitnica]] and [[Mareza]] flow nearby. This richness in bodies of water is a major feature of the city. In contrast to most of Montenegro, Podgorica lies in a mainly flat area at the northern end of the Zeta plain. The only exceptions are hills which overlook the city. The most significant is '''Gorica Hill''' (107m), which rises above the city centre. The other hills include ''Malo brdo'' (''Little hill''), ''Velje brdo'' (''Big hill''), ''Ljubović'' and ''Čardak''. In the main, these are too steep for development and thus limit the city's expansion, especially to the north. ===Climate=== Podgorica has a typical [[Mediterranean climate]] with hot, dry summers and mild winters. [[Snow]] is almost unknown. The mean annual rainfall is 1544mm. The temperature exceeds 25°C on about 135 days each year and the median daily temperature is 16.4°C. Podgorica is particularly known for its extremely hot summers: temperatures over 40°C are common in July and August. The highest temperature recorded was 45.8°C, on [[16 August]] [[2007]]. ==Culture== [[Image:TrgRepublike.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Republic Square was completely refurbished in 2006.]] Podgorica is home to many Montenegrin cultural institutions and events. It hosts the ''[[Montenegrin National Theatre]]'' and a number of museums and galleries. The Montenegrin National Theatre is the most significant theatre not only in Podgorica but in all of Montenegro. Podgorica is also host to the ''City Theatre'' (Gradsko pozorište), which includes the Children's Theatre and the Puppet Theatre. Although not as rich in museums and galleries as the historic royal capital [[Cetinje]], there are several noteworthy museums: * The ''Podgorica City Museum'' (''Muzej grada Podgorice'') preserves Podgorica's rich heritage. Founded in 1950, it has four categories: archaeological, ethnographic, historical and cultural-historical. It houses artefacts which date back to the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and [[Illyrian]] eras. * The ''Archaeological Research Centre'' (''Centar za arheološka istraživanja'') was founded in 1961. Its mission is to gather, classify, restore and display archaeological sites. * The ''Museum of [[Marko Miljanov]]'' (Muzej Marka Miljanova) in [[Medun]] shows life in 19th century [[Montenegro]]. It is the most significant Montenegrin memorial museum of its kind. * The ''Natural History Museum'' (''Prirodnjački muzej'') displays specimens of Montenegrin flora and fauna. There is a notable art gallery in the Dvorac [[House of Petrović|Petrovića]] (''Petrović's Castle'') complex in Podgorica's largest public park. The [[Nicholas I of Montenegro|King Nichola's]] castle, Perjanički dom (''House of the Honour Guard''), castle chapel and surrounding buildings were converted to an art gallery in 1984. Since 1995, it has been part of the ''Modern Arts Centre'' (''Centar savremenih umjetnosti'') and houses approximately 1,500 works of art. Podgorica has only one cinema, ''Cinema Culture'' (''Kino kultura''), founded in 1949. This will change when [[Delta City]] Montenegro (a 'multiplex' with 6 screens) is completed. A significant cultural institution of over fifty years' standing is the ''Cultural-informational centre Budo Tomović'' (''KIC Budo Tomović''). It is a public institution which organises various artistic events, including ''Podgorica's Cultural Summer'' (''Podgoričko Kulturno Ljeto''), ''FIAT'' - International Alternative Theatre Festival (''Festival Internacionalnog Aletarnativnog Teatra''), ''DEUS'' - ''December Arts Scene'' (''Decembarska Umjetnička Scena''). Podgorica's [[Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ (Podgorica)|Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ]] of the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]'s [[Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral]] is one of the largest places of worship in Montenegro. In Karageorge's Square is the statue of [[Đorđe Petrović]] the Black, so called ''Karageorge'', orchestrator of the [[First Serbian Uprising]] and idol of the struggle against the Ottomans. The monument is a replica of the one outside the [[Temple of Saint Sava]] in Belgrade. ===Education=== <!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Unimn.jpg|thumb|[[University of Montenegro]]]] --> Most of Montenegro's higher education establishments are in Podgorica. It is home to the [[University of Montenegro]], the country's most significant such institution. The [[Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts]] is also in Podgorica, as is the [[Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts|DANU]] cultural organisation. In recent years, the number of private institutions for higher education has increased. The municipality of Podgorica has 34 elementary schools and 10 secondary schools, including one [[Gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]]. The ''Radosav Ljumović'' national library is considered the most comprehensive in Montenegro. ===Media=== Podgorica is undoubtedly the media hub of Montenegro. It is home to the headquarters of the state-owned [[public television]] broadcaster [[RTCG]]. Commercial broadcasters in Podgorica include [[TV In]], [[NTV Montena]], [[Elmag RTV]], [[RTV Atlas]] and [[Montenegro Broadcast Company|MBC]]. Their programmes can be received in much of Montenegro. All Montenegro's daily newspapers (''[[Vijesti]]'', ''[[Dan (newspaper)|DAN]]'' and ''[[Pobjeda]]'') are published in Podgorica, as is the popular weekly magazine ''[[The Monitor (Montenegro)|Monitor]]''. ==Transport== ===Urban transport=== Public transport used to be provided only by ''Gradsko saobraćajno preduzeće'', a city-owned public transport company which ran all buses in Podgorica. This went bankrupt in the early years of the 21st century, after which public transport was provided only by two private carriers. City-owned public transport has been re-introduced, with private carriers operating buses under the banner of ''Gradski Saobraćaj'' (''City Transport''). Public transport has struggled to deal with competition. Unlicensed taxis threatened mainly the bus services, but cheaper despatched taxicab services have become more popular. The taxicab service is well-organised. 23 companies operate over 800 vehicles. These boast a high level of service, including new cars, drivers in suits, low prices and [[GPS]]-tracked vehicles for security. ===Intercity transport=== ===Road=== Podgorica's location in central Montenegro makes it a natural hub for rail and road transport. Roads in Montenegro (especially that which connects Podgorica to northern Montenegro and [[Serbia]]) are usually inferior to those elsewhere in Europe. There are moves to build a [[Beograd - Bar motorway|modern highway]] to connect the north with Podgorica and on to the [[Adriatic sea]]. The newly-built [[Sozina tunnel]] (4.2km) is modern even by European standards and shortens the journey from Podgorica to [[Bar, Montenegro|Bar]] (Montenegro's main seaport) to under 30 minutes. The main transit connections of Podgorica are: * north ([[European route E65|E65]], [[European route E80|E80]]), towards [[Belgrade]] and on to [[Central Europe]] * west ([[European route E762|E762]]), towards [[Nikšić]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]] and on to [[Western Europe]] * south ([[European route E65|E65]], [[European route E80|E80]]) towards the [[Adriatic coast]] * east ([[European route E762|E762]]), towards [[Albania]] The planned [[Beograd - Bar motorway]] will pass near Podgorica, speeding travel from Podgorica to northern and coastal Montenegro. ===Rail=== Podgorica railway station is near the city centre. It is old and inadequate: its owner ([[Railways of Montenegro]]) lacks the funds needed for reconstruction. Podgorica's main railway link (for both passenger and freight traffic) is [[Belgrade - Bar railway|Belgrade - Bar]]. The link to [[Nikšić]] is being rebuilt and electrified: passenger service is expected to start in 2009. Podgorica is also connected by rail with [[Shkodër]] and [[Tirana]] in [[Albania]], but this line has been unused for some time. ===Air transport=== [[Podgorica Airport]] is 12km south of the city and is Montenegro's main international airport. A new passenger terminal was opened on [[13 July]] [[2006]]. There are regular flights from Podgorica to [[Belgrade]], [[Bari]], [[Budapest]], [[Zurich]], [[Frankfurt]], [[Ljubljana]], [[Paris]], [[Rome]], [[Skopje]] and [[Vienna]]. ==Architecture== [[Image:MilleniumBridgeNight.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Millennium bridge]] Podgorica's mixture of architectural styles reflects the turbulent history of the city and country: as one régime replaced another, the corresponding style was introduced. As part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] until 1878, Podgorica has many examples of Turkish architecture. The oldest parts of the city, ''Stara Varoš'' (''Old town'') and ''Drač'' are typical of this, with two [[mosque]]s, a Turkish [[clock tower]] and narrow, winding streets. When the city was incorporated to Montenegro, the urban core shifted to the other bank of the [[Ribnica River]], where the town developed in a more [[Europe]]an style: wider streets intersecting at [[angle#Types of angles|right angles]]. During [[World War II]], Podgorica was almost razed to the ground, being bombed over 70 times. After liberation, rebuilding began as in other cities of the communist-ruled [[SFRY]]. Mass residential blocks were erected, with basic design typical of [[Eastern bloc]] countries. All that part of the city on the right bank of the [[Morača River]] was built this way. Even the empty spaces in the city centre were filled with near-[[brutalist]] structures, resulting in an unfortunate fusion of old and new. The residential and business blocks of the SFRY era provided ample housing but have been much criticised for their uninventive and grey appearance. A major advance in Podgorica architecture began in the late 1990s and, since then, the face of the city has changed rapidly. Residential and business construction are proceeding rapidly, including modern glass-and-steel styles. Public spaces attract heavy investment, so that the city has gained entirely new squares, parks and monuments. New landmarks include the ''Hristovog Vaskrsenja'' [[Orthodox temple (church)|orthodox temple]] and the [[Millennium Bridge, Podgorica|Millennium Bridge]], the main feature of the Podgorica skyline. Thus, Podgorica today is transforming rapidly from featureless town to modern European capital. ==Sport== [[Image:Morača Sports Center.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Morača Sports Center]]]] The most popular sports by far are [[football (soccer)|football]] and [[basketball]]. Basketball became especially popular with the success in the late 20th and early 21st centuries of [[KK Budućnost Podgorica]], both in [[FRY|Yugoslav]] and European competitions. Football in Podgorica has a very long tradition associated with [[FK Budućnost Podgorica]]. World-famous players [[Predrag Mijatović]] and [[Dejan Savićević]] were born in Podgorica and made their debut in that team. FK Zeta (from the Podgorica suburb of [[Golubovci]]) has also reached the former first league of Serbia and Montenegro. These clubs will probably compete with each other for leading position in the [[First League of Montenegro]]. Other clubs from Podgorica and its surroundings play in the Montenegrin First League e.g. [[FK Dečić]] ([[Tuzi]]), [[FK Kom]] and [[FK Mladost]]. One of the most popular clubs from the suburbs is [[FK Ribnica]] from [[Konik, Montenegro|Konik]]. The volleyball team [[OK Budućnost Podgorica]] and the women's handball team [[ŽRK Budućnost T-Mobile]] have had significant success in European competition. [[Budućnost Podgorica]] is the most important sports club in Podgorica. Its name means ''Future''. Sporting events like the annual ''Podgorica Marathon'' and the ''Morača River'' jumps attract international competitors. ===Venues=== [[Image:PGStadium.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Podgorica City Stadium]] Podgorica has a number of sporting venues; some are under reconstruction and expansion. The main ones are: *[[Podgorica city stadium|Podgorica City Stadium]]. When eastern stand is completed, it will have a capacity of 24,000. It is the home of [[FK Budućnost Podgorica]] and the [[Montenegro national football team]]. It is currently the only venue in Montenegro that complies with [[FIFA]] standards for international footbal matches. *[[Morača Sports Center]], a multi functional indoor sport facility. It has a capacity of 4,200 seats. It hosted one group of [[Eurobasket 2005]], while other games were played in [[Belgrade Arena|Belgrade]], [[Millennium Center|Vršac]] and [[Spens Sports Center|Novi Sad]]. Almost every football club in Podgorica has its own stadium, although these are often only fields with small stands or no stand at all. Other notable venues are the Stadium of Small Sports (Малих спортова стадиум, ''Malih sportova stadium'') under Gorica hill and the [[sport shooting]] range under Ljubović hill. There are many other sports facilities around the city, most notably [[indoor soccer]] fields. ==Subdivisions== {{main|Subdivisions of Podgorica}} {{seealso|List of Podgorica neighbourhoods and suburbs}} The municipality of Podgorica consists of ''Podgorica City Proper'' and two subdivisions called ''Urban municipalities'' (Градске општине, ''Gradske opštine''), [[Golubovci]] and [[Tuzi]]. The entire municipality of Podgorica is further divided into 57 ''local communities'' (мјесне заједнице, ''mjesne zajednice''), bodies in which the citizens participate in decisions on matters of relevance to the local community. == Sister cities == * {{flagicon|Serbia}} [[Image:Small Coat of Arms Belgrade.svg|20px]] [[Belgrade]], [[Serbia]] (''2006'') * {{flagicon|Armenia}} [[Image:Yerevan coa.gif|20px]] [[Yerevan]], [[Armenia]] (''2006'') * {{flagicon|Croatia}} [[Image:Zagreb coa.gif|20px]] [[Zagreb]], [[Croatia]] (''2006'') * {{flagicon|Albania}} [[Image:Wappen Tirana.gif|20px]] [[Tirana]], [[Albania]] * {{flagicon|Russia}} [[Image:Coat of Arms of Moscow.png|20px]] [[Moscow]], [[Russia]] (''2007'') * {{flagicon|USA}} [[Los Angeles]],USA ==See also== * [[List of places named after Tito]] ==External links== {{Commons}} * [http://www.podgorica.cg.yu Podgorica official website] * [http://www.pgto.cg.yu/ Tourism Organisation of Podgorica] * [http://www.podgorica.cg.yu/cam.htm Podgorica live cam] * [http://www.visit-montenegro.com/cities-podgorica.htm Visit-Montenegro.com] * [http://www.photo-montenegro.com/home.php?fKategorija=Podgorica&akcija=rezpret Photo-Montenegro.com] * [http://www.visit-montenegro.org/ National Tourism Organization of Montenegro] * [http://wikitravel.org/en/Podgorica Podgorica - WikiTravel] {{Geolinks-cityscale|42.4392|19.266}} {{Montenegro}} {{European capitals}} [[Category:Podgorica| ]] [[Category:Capitals in Europe]] [[Category:Cities, towns and villages in Montenegro]] [[af:Podgorica]] [[am:ፖድጎሪጻ]] [[ar:بودغوريتشا]] [[frp:Podgorica]] [[ast:Podgorica]] [[be-x-old:Падгорыца]] [[bs:Podgorica]] [[bg:Подгорица]] [[ca:Podgorica]] [[cv:Подгорица]] [[cs:Podgorica]] [[cy:Podgorica]] [[da:Podgorica]] [[de:Podgorica]] [[et:Podgorica]] [[el:Ποντγκόριτσα]] [[es:Podgorica]] [[eo:Podgorica]] [[eu:Podgorica]] [[fa:پودگوریتسا]] [[fr:Podgorica]] [[fy:Podgorytsa]] [[gd:Podgorica]] [[gl:Podgorica]] [[ko:포드고리차]] [[hy:Պոդգորիցա]] [[hsb:Podgorica]] [[hr:Podgorica]] [[id:Podgorica]] [[is:Podgorica]] [[it:Podgorica]] [[he:פודגוריצה]] [[ka:პოდგორიცა]] [[sw:Podgorica]] [[ku:Podgorika]] [[la:Podgorica]] [[lv:Podgorica]] [[lt:Podgorica]] [[lij:Podgorica]] [[hu:Podgorica]] [[mk:Подгорица]] [[nah:Podgorica]] [[nl:Podgorica]] [[ja:ポドゴリツァ]] [[no:Podgorica]] [[nn:Podgorica]] [[nov:Podgoritsa]] [[oc:Podgorica]] [[pms:Podgorica]] [[pl:Podgorica]] [[pt:Podgorica]] [[ro:Podgoriţa]] [[qu:Podgorica]] [[ru:Подгорица]] [[sq:Podgorica]] [[scn:Podgòrica]] [[simple:Podgorica]] [[sk:Podgorica]] [[cu:Подъгорица]] [[sl:Podgorica]] [[sr:Подгорица]] [[sh:Podgorica]] [[fi:Podgorica]] [[sv:Podgorica]] [[tl:Podgorica]] [[th:พอดกอรีตซา]] [[vi:Podgorica]] [[tr:Podgorica]] [[uk:Подгориця]] [[vo:Podgorica]] [[bat-smg:Podgorica]] [[zh:波德戈里察]]
