Nicolas Petrovitch Njegosh - Crown Prince of Montenegro, was born July 7, 1944 in Saint Nicolas du Pélem (Côtes d’Armor).
He obtained his architectural diploma in 1971 at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and has since worked as an independent architect.
His professional experience has spanned several directions: Self-construction, urban environment, town planning, construction of industrial and agricultural buildings, renovation of administrative and commercial buildings.
After 70 years of exile from the Petrovich Njegosh family, following the annexation of Montenegro to Serbia, he returned to Montenegro on the occasion of the repatriation of the bodies of King Nikola, Queen Milena and Princesses Vijera and Ksenija the October 1, 1989.
Inspired by this event and shortly after, the fall of the Berlin Wall, he created and directed the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Cetinje, the royal capital of Montenegro from 1991 to 2002.
These reunions with Montenegro allowed him to renew contacts with several members of European royal families, some of whom were linked by marriage to the Petrovich Njegosh family.
From the start of the Yugoslav conflict, he launched an appeal for peace following the first bombing of Dubrovnik and called on the Montenegrins not to participate in the conflict. During the period of the conflict, he created and chaired the IZBOR association (legal defense of victims of ethnic discrimination in the former Yugoslavia).
He also created and chairs the SEM association (Solidarity Europe Montenegro) which organizes several humanitarian aid campaigns in Montenegro.
Since 2002, he has organized with the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (Paris la Seine) several architecture and town planning workshops in the village of Gornja Lastva, in Montenegro.
Five years after the regained independence of Montenegro, in July 2011, the Parliament of Montenegro passed a Law on the status of the heirs of the dynasty, which included the creation of a Petrovich Njegosh Family Foundation. The Foundation of which he is President has a triple field of action: Solidarity, Environment and Cultural Heritage.
Since 2012 the Foundation has initiated, supported and accompanied more than 200 projects in these different sectors in Montenegro.
