I am pretty sure this is based on google search.
Well, just as I thought, at least in the case of Portugal it must be related to the number of Google searches. Montenegro has a stratospheric difference compared to other countries for the reasons I have already stated.
Searches done on google.pt, using the names of each country in the Portuguese language, this is the order you get by number of entries:
Montenegro - 859 000 000
Grécia - 87 900 000
Croácia - 41 600 000
Bulgária - 34 100 000
Sérvia - 31 300 000
Bósnia e Herzegovina - 23 000 000
Albânia - 22 500 000
Macedónia do Norte - 11 500 000
Roménia - 10 900 000
Eslovénia - 10 200 000
Greece and Croatia realistically are the most popular countries actually, unsurprisingly, and it makes more sense than Montenegro.
This map is very inaccurate. Greece is the most liked everywhere in Europe and maybe Croatia in some countries.
most liked =/= most popular
If we were to talk about most popular countries then it would be basically Greece, Croatia and Serbia, also Romania for Moldova ofc.
Since it's about most liked tho then we would have to look up to some symapthy towards countries stats, but it's still not very relatable. The beauty of statistics, you have graphs but also you would have to ask thousands or people when most of them don't see much difference, otherwise it's just an easy number to manipulate
I guess even among groups of people on TA by nationality we would get different results
