Royalty Registration & Collection
How to Collect Your PAM CG Royalties
Montenegro's performing rights organization for songwriters and composers.
Performing Arts Music Montenegro (PAM CG) is the performing rights organization (PRO) in Montenegro. It licenses the public performance and broadcast of musical works and collects performance royalties for songwriters, composers, and music publishers when their music is played on radio and television, streamed, or performed in public across Montenegro. Through reciprocal agreements with PROs worldwide, PAM CG also collects on behalf of international writers whose works are used in Montenegro.
