  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 number of people who were registered as Montenegrins in Montenegro was at 90% in 1948, but it has been dropping since, to 62% in 1991, and to 40% in 2003.

 [Projekat Rastko] Spasovski-Kicosev-Zivkovic: The Serbs in the Former SFR of Yugoslavia
The share of Montenegrins in the total population of the former Yugoslavia was stable in the whole post-war period, with the following variations: 2.7% in 1948, 2.8%, in 1961, and 2.6% in 1981.
The 1991 census recorded a drop in the number of Montenegrins (140,024 or 1.4% of the total population) which was due to weaker immigration into Serbia during the economic recession, and their declaring in favour of the Serbian identity in the new political circumstances.
That the mentioned regional differentiation in the population dynamics of the Montenegrins in Serbia was primarily influenced by migrations was demonstrated in the level of natural increase in Montenegrins in Central Serbia, Vojvodina, and Kosovo and Metohia.

People came out of dark corners, blew up the fire, slung the caldron over it, threw on logs, and as many flocked in to see me as the place would hold.
It is possible that the delay is by no means an evil, for it has saved the people from being overwhelmed by a mass of Western ideas for which their minds are as yet unready; ideas which, ill assimilated and misunderstood, and forced with a rush upon Serbia, have worked disastrously in that unhappy land.
And through it all these people cling with a doglike fidelity to their Church and the belief that the God of their fathers will one day give them back the land which should be theirs.

These peoples letters seemed incredible to us, as, owing to the terrible education system we knew nothing about emigration from Montenegro, and simply didn't know that there were Montenegrins in South America, so that this fact was almost entirely unknown to the public at large.
As the local people told me, the first one was someone by the name of Perovic, and after him many others began to come to this little town in the province of Buenos Aires to cut down the forests.
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.

Nikcevic 1978).

 PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1998
The threat of conflict can also lock people into kin-based vortices in a very different sense, as wholesale scapegoating occurs and fingers are pointed at people who look alike, sound alike, and are presumed to be too unlike those who (rightly or wrongly) feel oppressed or offended by these others' presence.
When people live in conditions of considerable uncertainty and where it is commonly understood that the government is dysfunctional and either will not or cannot look out for everyone, citizens have little choice but to seek security from those who offer it.
Also, because people who differ by way of ethnic, linguistic, political, and religious affiliations will either learn to coexist or continue to attempt to eliminate each other, it is false to assume that partitioning a nation and stabilizing it via external military force will prevent conflict from returning.

Thanks to an important democratic and intellectual movement (to which the Montenegrin P.E.N. Centre has made a significant contribution) Montenegro is still managing to defend its traditional values - multiethnic and multi-religious tolerance, to withstand extremist forms of xenophobia, chauvinism, nationalistic mythomania and genocidal practices.
It is with a feeling of responsibility for the plight of deportees and refugees that Montenegro feels that it has the right to expect efficient international aid, the kind of aid that is for the same purpose being provided to Albania and Macedonia.
The Montenegrins P.E.N. Centre hopes that this Appeal to P.E.N. centres around the world, to humanitarian and charitable organizations and institutions, will meet with a significant response and that it will enable Montenegro to save and temporarily provide care for tens of thousands of deportees, displaced and suffering human beings.

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.
