history
In the Middle Ages Sutorina belonged to the city-state of Ragusa . On January 26, 1699, the republic surrendered two coastal strips to the Ottoman Empire in order to protect itself from further encroachments by the Venetians by land: in the northwest the coastal town of Neum , which today belongs to Bosnia and Herzegovina , and Sutorina. Sutorina belonged to the Ottoman Empire until the annexation of Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary . After the First World War it belonged to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia .
After the Second World War it was briefly part of the newly founded Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and, along with Neum, formed the only sea access to the republic. In 1947 Sutorina was transferred to the neighboring republic of Montenegro . In return, Bosnia and Herzegovina received Montenegrin territories east of the Sutjeska River .
Today Sutorina is part of the independent state of Montenegro , but efforts have been made in Bosnia and Herzegovina to reclaim Sutorina. The dispute ended in summer 2015 with the signing of a border treaty.
