Pobjeda (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Пoбjeдa, pronounced [pôbjeda], English: The Victory) (: NIPO) is a Montenegrin newspaper. Having been published for 66 years, it is the oldest Montenegrin newspaper still in circulation. It is the oldest Montenegrin active media, too.
Until September 1997 it was the only daily newspaper printed in Montenegro. Following several unsuccessful privatization attempts, it is the only daily newspaper in Montenegro that is state-owned. On 21 May 2010, the daily has dropped the Cyrillic script in favour of the Latin script.
The first issue of Pobjeda was published on 24 October 1944 in Nikšić as a part of the National liberation front of Montenegro (Narodnooslobodilački front Crne Gore). Three more issues came out before Pobjeda began to be published in Cetinje. That city was Pobjeda's home until 1954, when it moved to Podgorica.
Pobjeda was a bi-weekly and weekly newspaper until 1 January 1975 when it switched to daily frequency. The chabge happened at the period when headquarters of Pobjeda moved from old location (Graphic institute building, at the Ribnica river coast) to the new building, in the new city quarter (Bulevar Revolucije 11).
For many decades, in time of SFR Yugoslavia, Pobjeda has been sold on the newsstands in Belgrade, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Split and other biggest cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia. In the same tame, many newsstands in Montenegro were owned by Pobjeda.
