The First ISBN Regional Workshop was held on June 8 and 9 at the National Library of Albania in Tirana. Montenegrin delegates were Jelena Đurović, director of the Central National Library “Djurdje Crnojevic” and the head of the National ISBN Agency, Sanja Martinovic. The conference was organised for the national ISBN agencies from the countries of the region, and it was led by Brian Green, Executive Director of the International ISBN Aagency, with its headquarters in London.                      

The Central National Library “Djurdje Crnojevic” has been a member of the International ISBN Association since 2005. The same year the National ISBN Agency for Montenegro was established, which has been independently awarding ISBN codes for publishers from the territory of Montenegro since then.
