	Montenegrins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The disappointment in the union with Serbia led to a movement for re-recognition of Montenegrin ethnicity, which was ultimately achieved under the Communist regime of the second Yugoslavia and maintained in the democratic regimes after the fall of Communism.
		The royal Yugoslav government made the national unification of the Montenegrins and the Serbians into a policy, although this unconditional merger voted on by the Podgorica Assembly on November 26, 1918 was seen by some of the Montenegrins as an imposition, given that Montenegro was downgraded into a province of the new Yugoslav kingdom.
		The population of Montenegro is presently roughly divided on ethnic and political issues between the group composed of the ethnic Montenegrins, ethnic Bosniaks and Albanians on one side, and the group composed of the ethnicSerbs on the other.

		Montenegrins were, at the beginning of this period, the third largest group, but their number decreased and share dropped from 3.9% to only 1.7% so that in the last census they were fewer in number than the Moslems and Romanies.
		A comparison of the Serbian and Montenegrin population in the Province in 1971 according to the type of settlement and structure of the sample, shows a strong concordance in the representation of the rural and urban populations, with bigger differences in representation of the population from mixed urban-rural settlements.

		Montenegrins enlisted in the communist Partisans in large numbers during World War II and were disproportionately represented in the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) and the government after the war.
		Although a large number of Montenegrin communists were expelled from the CPY for pro-Soviet sympathies after Yugoslavia broke with the Soviet Union in 1948, Montenegrins remained overrepresented in the Yugoslav bureaucratic and military services.
		But about 15 percent of the leaders of federal administrative bodies were Montenegrins, nearly 20 percent of the generals in the Yugoslav People's Army (YPA) were Montenegrin, and their presence in the overall officer corps was also disproportionately high (see The Military and Society, ch.

	Projekat Rastko Cetinje - Petar Vlahovic: The Serbian Origin of the Montenegrins
		The Montenegrin man's cap was introduced by the bishop and ruler Petar II Petrovic Njegos when he gave it: as a gift to some of the clan leaders to wear it as the mark of their Serbian identity.
		The coat of arms of the Crnojevici, and of the medieval Serbia whose tradition was preserved and guarded by the Montenegrins under the Turks, had a two-headed eagle over whose breast a lion on the plate was added in the 18th century as the symbol of the Petrovic Njegos family.
		The Montenegrin ceremonial costume symbolising the Serbian tricolour flag and the cap are the expression and synthesis of the historical and cultural heritage of the Balkan ethnic communities.

	The Migration of Serbs and Montenegrins from Kosovo and Metohija (II) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The fact is that Serbs and Montenegrins are moving out of communes with high national incomes, a higher employment rate and a high degree of urbanization (Pristina, Titova Mitrovica, Pec and other areas), just as they are moving from communes with precisely the opposite characteristics (Bitina, Kosovska Kamenica, Podujevo and so on).
		It is possible, therefore, to say without doubt that among the overall factors of deterrence of the Serbian and Montenegrin population from Kosovo and Metohija, those of a non-economic nature prevail over the economic and social ones and this, to a great extent, defines the character of the migrations.
		From the course of evolution established by Sauvy, the extinction of the dominated populations of Serbs, Montenegrins.

		And so the Montenegrins in Chaco and those in Tandilo just like the ones in Buenos Aires, Venado Tuerto and General Madariaga doubtless followed the rumours that there were other Montenegrins living and working in these places, far away from home, as they searched for a sign of a warm home and a warm heart.
		The descendants of the first Montenegrins who settled in General Madariaga are today largely involved in cattle breeding, and some of them have become unbelievably rich through this business so that they now own several thousand head of cattle and several thousand hectares of land.
		The Montenegrins were widely known throughout Argentina as very good workers and from the very start they did the toughest jobs.

		The Montenegrins initially welcomed the Serbian troops, their allies during the war, in naive anticipation of the reinstatement of their own Montenegrin Government and a larger confederation of south Slavic states -- the first Yugoslavia -- that was in the making.

	Montenet - Language in Montenegro
		As far as a status and a rank of Montenegrin language is concerned, its' scientific study and demonstration in diachronic and synchronic time levels, the furthermost have gone the scientists who recognized its autochtonic character.

Nikcevic 1978).
		The 'Declaration (deklaracija)of Montenegrin P.E.N. Center regarding the Constitutional status of the Montenegrin language' states that "...all the Slavonic languages, except the language of Montenegrins, have their ethnic, national name.

	Montenegrins Fear Creeping Serb Coup
		Montenegrin analysts fear that the closure of the port is but the latest example of the creeping coup against their republic, which began at the beginning of April, when General Milorad Obradovic became head of the Yugoslav army in Montenegro.
		The Yugoslav army has already used the port of Bar to launch a surface-to-air missile at NATO war planes, despite the wishes of the Montenegrin authorities who are determined to remain neutral in the conflict.
		In addition to the financial losses inflicted directly on the Montenegrin economy, the blockade is having an indirect effect; namely, the gradual subjugation of Podgorica to Belgrade.

	ALBANIANS AND MONTENEGRINS BROTHERS!? - www.ezboard.com
		For instance, the albanian clans of the Krasniqi and Hoti and three montenegrin clans are said to be the descendants of five brothers, the three brothers became orthodox and later montenegrin while the others remained albanian, one catholic the other muslim!
		I believe some montenegrins are to some extent slavicized albanians, especially the clans of Kuci, Pipri and Vasojevic etc, but today you´re slavs, assimilated illyrians/albanians.
		Also those "montenegrins" you speak of are very few, only around "Old Montenegro" and to some extent in Albania and Kosova, but this type is pre-slavic and to rare to have been the strongest element in ancient Illyria.
