CETINJE, Yugoslavia (CNN) -- In the most prosaic of settings for a church -- the converted living room of a modest, three-story house -- a priest in traditional Orthodox robes solemnly lights prayer candles, injecting a spark into the eyes of gilded icons of Christ and the saints on the altar before him.
Cetinje sits at the foot of Mount Lovcen atop which Petar II Petrovic Nejegos, one of Montenegro's most famous poets and prince-bishops, is entombed.
Cetinje also holds special meaning for Serbs because it was here that lexicographer Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic, father of the modern Serbian alphabet and grammar, spent several years in the 19th century collecting the folk stories, poems and songs for which he was equally famous.
