FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Last updated on Monday May 23, 2011

Maintenance mode: our website and/or our database are currently under reconstruction. Thank you for your patience!
  • Q: Do you have delegations or official representatives in foreign countries?
    A: No, we have no official delegate of any kind. The President-in-Office is alone in capacity to engage the Fund in a decision-making process. Consequently, any person alleging to be our foreign representative, including in London, England, for any purpose of any kind, especially collecting money for a would-be direct or indirect support to our Fund, is ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT OUR RECOMMENDATION AND ACCREDITATION. If you should be aware of such facts, please immediately contact our General Secretariat to report this kind of illegal activities.
  • Q: What is the goal followed by the network of the Njegoskij Fund’s friends?
    A: The Njegoskij Fund — our family organisation — is a strictly private initiative of which first aim was to create and put online a digital database dedicated to royal Montenegro, based on our family historical collections.
    Nevertheless, from the early opening of our website on January 25, 2005, we received many requests from our readers and friends inviting us to make evolving our portal into a communautary pole of communication and general information around the Franco-Montenegrin relation; after a general concertation with our members, this is now the goal followed by the network of the Fund’s friends (a.k.a. “The Njegoskij Fund Network”) to keep alive such a pole.
  • Q: Is your internet project a “locked” project?
    A: Not at all! By adopting since 2007’s end SPIP — a multi-user management publishing system for the internet — as core of our website, most of its sections are fully open to all external contributions. All friendly collaborations are welcome!
  • Q: As njegoskij|org is one of the few websites communicating around the person of H.R.H. Prince Nicolas Petrovitch Njegosh and his family, are you a kind of successor to the defunct “royalmontenegro.com”?
    A: Not at all! Njegoskij|org is only the official portal of the network of the Njegoskij Fund’s friends (a.k.a. “The Njegoskij Fund Network”). Even if we support unreservedly the Prince’s individual cause, we relay information on him and his family only by evident and natural continuity between the historic and modern members of the Royal Family of Montenegro, as part of our general editorial line. The only information you will find here concerning Prince Nicolas’ family are those of a public nature, i.e. directly accredited by the Prince himself in his public statements, and in publications or events with which its members are associated.
    Consequently, the Fund cannot be perceived as the Prince’s chancellery or any kind of public office, nor as a mean to contact one of the members of the Royal Family of Montenegro. Additionally, NEITHER the Njegoskij Fund, nor any members of its network, have been and are today affiliated or associated with the activities of the London owners and registrants of “orderofdanilo.org” and “royalmontenegro.com”, nor with the business of any of their owned companies.
  • Q: What is the difference between the network and the Fund itself?
    A: The network of the Njegoskij Fund’s friends (a.k.a. “The Njegoskij Fund Network”, formely known as “The Njegoskij Fund Public Project”), means all the persons and organisations involved in the animation of our public portal on the internet. The Fund is our private family organisation.
  • Q: Njegoskij|org is a family project. Yet you give no information about your family. Why?
    A: Although njegoskij|org is a family project, our goal has always been that our website, in its evolution from a simple presentation of our historical collections to a general information portal, is primarily an introduction to a certain vision of the Franco-Montenegrin friendship and to Montenegro viewed from France. In no case, this is a website particularly devoted to our family.
  • Q: How can one become member of your Fund?
    A: One can become a sociétaire of the Njegoskij Fund only by invitation of our family. Family members compose the Senate, while the sociétaires ès qualités outside our family, ex officio members of the network of the Njegoskij Fund’s friends (a.k.a. “The Njegoskij Fund Network”), form the College.
  • Q: How can one become member of the network of your Fund’s friends?
    A: One can become member of the network of the Njegoskij Fund’s friends (a.k.a. “The Njegoskij Fund Network”), i.e. fellow member, only by patronage of already qualified members.
  • Q: How much does the membership cost to join your Fund or your network?
    A: For all the persons outside our family (members of the College and fellow members of the network), membership to the Fund and/or to the network is GRATIS (no dues or fees) and only based on your friendly collaborative or intellectual interest in our project.
  • Q: Does your Fund accept patronage?
    A: No, in the current state of our Family Charter, except express and unanimous approval by all the members of the College. As a strictly private family organisation, our Fund is not linked to any other organisation, institution, lobbying group, nor even to other families; it is entirely self-financed by our own family funds. Therefore we are completely independent.
