2007–08 Montenegrin First League

FK Berane was directly relegated to the Montenegrin Second League after finishing 12th in last year's standings. Their place was taken by Second League champions Lovćen Cetinje.

10th placed Dečić Tuzi and 11th placed Jedinstvo Bijelo Polje had to compete in two-legged relegation play-offs. Jedinstvo was relegated by losing 4–2 on aggregate against the 2nd placed team from Second League, Bokelj Kotor. On the other hand, Dečić saved their place in Montenegrin top league by beating cross-town rivals Ibar Rožaje, who had finished in 3rd place in the Second League, with a 3–2 on aggregate.
