A competition to crown Montenegro’s “Laziest Citizen” has entered its 20th day, completely shattering the previous record.
The initial field of 21 competitors has been whittled down to just seven, as residents of the resort village of Brezna,
Montenegro take to doing little more than lying around on makeshift beds on the ground.
This year’s competition started three weeks ago, in mid-August. It was first held 12 years ago, organizer Mico Blagojevic
told Kosova Press, as a satirical way to poke fun of the myth that Montenegrins are “lazy.”
Dubravka Aleksic, one of this year’s competitors, held the previous record for staying in bed for 117 hours in 2021.

But, now, that record has been blown to smithereens as the lie-in enters its third week. The remaining seven competitors have
been lying down for more than 460 hours.
“All of us feel good, excellent, there are no health problems. They are pampering us, all we have to do is to remain lying down,” Aksic, 38, told Reuters.
