''Some Montenegrins have in recent years shown a desire to separate Montenegro from the federation with jist of the separatist movement being among the Slavic Muslim and Albanian minorities who make up some 20% of the population'' -- what does this sentence mean? -- ] |

::In recent years, some Montenegrins have shown a desire to separate from the Yugoslavian/Balkan/Serbian(?) Federation. The separatist movement consists mainly of Slavic Muslim and Albanian minorities, which consist of 20% of the Montenegrin population. --More sense? |
|
|
|
|
|
:::No, it makes no sense at all. I thought the seperatist movement was started by the Montenegrin Parliament and Montenegrin Government, right? |
|
|
|
|
|
:::: Actually you are wrong. The separatist movement started in 1990 with the Liberal Party of MOntenegro (LSCG) which has constitently had about 5-10% of support among the population (among both Orthodox, Muslims and Catholics). In 1992 when the question of Montenegro's future was at stake (referendum on federation with Serbia) the LSCG called on Montenegrins to boycott. Aside from their voters (5-10%) the bulk of the Slavic Muslim and Albanian population boycotted as can be seen from the results on this page . The turnout was 66% of which 95% voted for the union (some 62% with 70% Orthodox Slavs). Each county basically matches with its ethno-religious make-up. Bar with 60% Orthodox Slavs had a 48% turnout, Ulcinj with 73% of Albanians had a 17,54% turnout, Plav with an 80% Slavic Muslim and Albanian population had a 27,63% turnout and finally Rozaje with 87% Slavic Muslims and 4% Albanians had a 10,85%. All of the other counties (with clear ORthodox Slavic majorities) all had majority turnouts. I personally find this exercise redundant, trying to 'prove' what is obvious to anyone who has ever set foot in Montenegro. But I guess that from now on I will not have to discuss the subject. Furthermore if you are interested I can get you poll results which basically point out what I am talking about. Just quoting one from 2001 (VREME) that I have, 5% of declared Serbs support an independent Montenegro, 83% of those who said they were Croats, 89% of those who said they were ] and 87% of Albanians. -- ] 22:00, Sep 23 2004 |

Let me put in more straightforwardly, did Bosniaks and Albanians bring Djukanovic & Co. to power? No Montenegrin voted him in? Well, I thought Albanians had their own political parties, and so do the Bosniaks. |
|
|
|
|
|
:::: That is the interesting part, the Slavic Muslims have their own parties (] etc.) however none of them have been in parliament since 1992 and then maybe one or two seats? The Slavic Muslims adore and vote (can be proven with the help of any opinion poll) ], his ] party and especially his junior partner ] party (which has about 40% of Slavic Muslims in its ranks which you can see for yourself as soon as they fix their rotten page http://www.sdp.cg.yu if you go to 'Organizacija'). -- ] |

I should make note that Igor's edits spin the article towards the Serbian point of view, which is in conflict with the Montenegro government and hence the majority of voting population, contrary to what it may imply. The article needs to be made more neutral. --] 14:20, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC) |

: I do not partake in such practices, there has been no reversal of power in Montenegro since 1945, the very party that held the media, government and police prior to any given election won it. There have been widespread reports of vote fraud and besides, the government won some 47% at the last elections, hardly an indisputable majority. |

Parts of this page are extremely, um misleading. The idea of Montenegrin 'ethnicity' is totally modern, not even appearing before Serbia's (Raskian Serbia that is) independence from the Ottoman empire in the 20TH CENTURY. If your talking about free countries in history, Montenegrins for generations WERE the Serbs. Just making some sweeping comments that assume historical "Montenegrins" (which is what happens when you start off sentences w "Ethnic Montenegrins...."), well its playing w facts. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also your comments on language are just totally off-base, lies in fact. The major dialectal isoglosses of Serbo-Croat, EACH ONE of them in fact spreads geographically through Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, AND Serbia. You give the impression that some special speech form local to montenegro is also the speech of Bosnia. No, Bosnian speech varies by location, but of course accents and well 'localisms', do converge at the Bosnian/Montenegrin border, the same is true in any country for almost any small areas next to each other. |
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, the article as written is some "thinly veiled" sort of pro-secessionist propaganda sheet. I wish people would stop writing articles for subjects they have no special knowledge of or in cases where they have no objectivity. |

: I'm not particularly inclined to bother discerning what's meant by trashing their ethnicity as modern while the page says exactly the same, and replicates the percentages exactly as on the census. Your notion of each of the dialects being in each region is patent nonsense as it's štokavian that is everywhere, not the other three (unless you mean dialects of štokavian, which would be a really slippery slope). It's also very amusing to see you characterize a page last edited by user Igor as pro-secessionist propaganda. Keep it up :> --] 18:21, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC) |

I apologize,it was careless and not factual what i said about the dialects - i should have written that dialects present in Bosnia Montenegro and Serbia proper of Stokavian as you mentioned stretch through the entire Serbo-Croat area, and most importantly what is meant is that |
|
|
its not correct to Single out some special Montenegrin Dialect, because there isnt any - only in Croatia are you going to find areas that are linguistically unique. Whether Igor is pro or anti-secessionist is immaterial, because theres no expectation that an entire article will or should be re-written by every 'last contributer' - in fact its better to work on the articles in segments. The tone of the article (an article which i didnt change anyway)is apparent - it PRESUMES something which is in itself very controversial - something historically at least (even just to the borders of 'recent past') could have been discounted altogether - Montenegrin ethnicity. Anyone who reads the article will junp over step 1 (does this ethnicity exist) directly to "the ethnic montenegrins are considering secession). Theres no backround. |
|
|
|
|
|
During the era of Ottoman domination,Montenegrins were very proud to be the |
|
|
only free serbs, and were raised being serb. Does a montenegrin ethnicity |
|
|
exist today? - given the fact that 'ethnicity' always has an historical |
|
|
component, its difficult to say. If it does, id guess it couldnt have existed |
|
|
before Serbs deposed the Montenegrin monarchy and replaced in its own. |
|
|
Whoever adds to this article should be careful to give due mention to the |
|
|
sheerly political or lifestyle apects which can be extracted from talk of |
|
|
ethnicity. This article is lacking - its not written from a Neutral Point of |
|
|
View. Its not a major problem since the article is so crude/new anyway - my |
|
|
point in adding to the talk page rather than to the article proper is so that |
|
|
someone w interest will take all the biases out. |

This article is written from a pro-Serb (i.e anti-Montenegro) point of view, comparable I would say to what an Argentine might write if asked to contribute to a section on the Falkland islands (Malvinas). |

''The main church is the Serb Orthodox Church, though there is also a splinter Montenegrin Orthodox Church established in 1993. The faithful reportedly remain close to the Serb Orthodox Church regardless of the new church as can be witnessed by the attendance of sermons and booming monastic life at the Serb church none of which the other side can boast of.'' |
|
|
|
|
|
This seemed rather biased toward one church, especially the second sentence. I'll strike it and revise the first part to try for a more NPOV. |

The article states that "Montenegrins are mostly Eastern Orthodox Christians. The two major branches are the Serb Orthodox Church and the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, which was re-established in 1993.". MOC is not a major branch of Eastern Orthodoxy, nor was it re-established in 1993. ] 12:36, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

::I thought about it, but no, it's Spanish. In Italian it would be Montenero, without G. Which really puzzles me, as Spain is not so close. It's not Portuguese either nor French. Weird, huh? -- ] 04:46, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

Monte Negro/Montenegro is Veneto, a dialect(?) of Italian which is the word most of the world uses today when referring to Crna Gora - Black Mountain - MonteNegro. Some nations do not use Montenegro but translate literally Black Mountain: Slavs (Cerna Gora, several variations), Greeks (Mavrovunion), Albanians (Mal i Zi) and Turks (Karadag). |
|
|
|
|
|
What puzzles me is why would these countries copy one another because it would be a big coincidence if all of them, seeing for themselves, call the country "Black Mountain". And why don't we have the name that the aboriginals called their land since Slavs arrived there after antiquity. Thus Cerna Gora can't be a possible candidate. Thus I think it either comes from Albanian "Mali i Zi" or Greek "Mavrounion". - user |

== Figures on population and ethnic division == |

Dears, |
|
|
|
|
|
I'd like to report that the figures shown in these pages are somewhat different from point to point. As for total population there are two different (but not so much) figures and the same holds for ethnic minorities' percentages. Albanians are reported to be the 5% (main page)and 7% (link to demographic history) of total pop. |
