After the financial difficulties, FK Gorštak was relegated from Republic League on season 1999-2000[2], which was their last year in that competition.
Following Montenegrin independence (2006), FK Gorštak became a member of lowest-tier (Montenegrin Third League). Since then, the team is permanent member of competition, without significant attempt or ambitions to gain promotion to Second League due to financial troubles.[3]
