.me is an Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) that has been assigned to Montenegro.

This follows Montenegro's June 3, 2006 declaration of independence from Serbia and Montenegro, which used the code YU.

The .me registry is operated by the University of Montenegro on behalf of the government. A two-year transition period is to be provided for existing .yu names to be transferred to .me.

In addition to declaring .me to be independent of .yu, a new .rs domain is to be deployed for Serbian use.

Introducing .me

Template:Future

ICANN has resolved[1] that .me is to be delegated to the Government of Montenegro with the former .yu domain to be operated temporarily by the .rs domain registry, Serbian National Register of Internet Domain Names, until its eventual abolition on or before 30 September 2009.

On 11 September 2007, delegation of name servers has been approved by IANA[2], establishing .me. The .me domain became active on 24 September 2007 and a "Public Invitation for selection of the Agent for domain registration under the national Internet domain of Montenegro" was posted on 14 November.

As of 2008, open registration for .me is not yet available[3] but domain name servers do locate .me and an initial set of active .me domains includes the Government of Montenegro, the University of Montenegro and the registry itself:

.ME registry
www.domen.me .ME registry in Montenegrin
www.domain.me .ME registry in English
www.nic.me Former .ME registry
Government of Montenegro
www.me Montenegro general information
www.gov.me Government of Montenegro

March 24 Government second level domains, migration from cg.yu to co.me/org.me/net.me/its.me - Montenegro only
