Why these defaults?
The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Tax labels: PDV (VAT). Business identifier labels: Poreski identifikacioni broj (PIB).
- Guidance: Montenegro's VAT law records Tax Administration context for VAT. The Tax Administration publishes electronic-fiscalization functional specifications, while the Ministry of Finance explains that persons obliged to issue accounts for supplies of products or services are subject to fiscalization. Government fiscalization material records that transactions and fiscal invoices are communicated in real time to the competent public-revenue authority. This local preview does not validate PIB, determine fiscalization applicability, use a certified fiscalization service, create a compliant fiscal invoice, communicate in real time, generate/verify fiscal identifiers or QR data, submit VAT, or determine PDV/exemption and transaction-specific treatment.Evidence ME_GOV_VAT_LAW, ME_TAX_ADMIN_EFISCALIZATION, ME_GOV_FISCALIZATION_SCOPE · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
