On World Cities Day 2025, UNESCO recognized 58 new cities for their outstanding commitment to creativity as a driver of sustainable urban development. Among them is Nikšić, which earned the title of UNESCO City of Music.
With this recognition, Nikšić has been acknowledged as a city that builds a sustainable future through music and creativity, fosters cultural development, and strengthens community connections.
Alongside Nikšić, the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of music welcomed cities such as New Orleans (USA), Kyiv (Ukraine), Liège (Belgium), Évian (France), Wuxi (China), and Lalitpur (Nepal).
Through this achievement, Nikšić reaffirms its status as Montenegro’s cultural and musical center — a city that nurtures talent, unity, and an authentic spirit through art and creativity.
