MISS GRAND
Montenegro
Andrijana Delibasic
INTRODUCTION
I am Andrijana Delibašić, a lawyer, journalist, and former Miss Montenegro, returning to the pageant stage with a different perspective and a deeper sense of purpose. I have learned that a crown can open a door, but it is your voice, character, and choices that determine what you do once you walk through it.
I want to use the Miss Grand International platform not only to represent where I come from, but to represent what I believe in: courage, dignity, peace, and the power of a woman who knows her worth. Through journalism, I have learned to listen to people and tell their stories; through pageantry, I have learned to stand in front of the world and tell my own.
Stop the War and Violence
To me, “Stop the War and Violence” is not only a call to stop fighting; it is a call to stop normalising the idea that violence is an answer.
War begins on a battlefield, but violence can begin much closer to us: in the way we speak to one another, in humiliation, hatred, intolerance, and the belief that power gives us the right to hurt someone weaker.
As a journalist, I have learned that behind every headline there is a human being and a story. As a woman, I believe that peace is not weakness; it is strength under control.
If I am given the opportunity to represent Montenegro, I want to use my voice to remind people that peace is built not only by governments and institutions, but also by the choices ordinary people make every day: choosing empathy over hatred, dialogue over aggression, and humanity over pride.
For me, stopping violence begins when we stop teaching ourselves that someone has to lose for us to win.
The 4Bs
To me, the four Bs are not four separate qualities; they are four parts of the same woman.
Body represents discipline—not perfection, but the ability to take care of myself, challenge my limits, and respect the body that carries me through life.
Beauty represents presence. I have learned through modelling and pageantry that beauty may open a door, but character determines whether you deserve to stay in the room.
Brain is my foundation. As a law graduate and journalist, I have learned to think critically, ask difficult questions, listen carefully, and understand that having a voice also means having a responsibility for what you say.
Business represents independence. I believe a modern woman should be able to create opportunities, negotiate her value, build professional relationships, and stand on her own feet.
Together, the four Bs describe the woman I am becoming: confident enough to be seen, intelligent enough to be heard, disciplined enough to grow, and independent enough to create my own path.
I do not want to choose between being beautiful and being capable. I want to prove that a woman can be both and that neither should ever limit the other.
PASSION TO BEAUTY PAGEANT
My Passion for Beauty Pageants
My passion for pageantry began when I was little, but I understood its true meaning only years later. At first, I saw the stage as a place to prove myself. With time, I realised that a crown is not a reward for being perfect; it is a responsibility to use your visibility for something greater than yourself.
That is why I chose to return to the pageant world. I am no longer the woman who simply wants to be seen; I am a woman who wants to be heard, to represent her country with substance, and to turn an international platform into an opportunity for meaningful conversations and positive action.
