  • Factors of Migratory Movements of Population of Montenegro in Xix Century
    UDC: 314.728(497.16)”18” Историјски записи, година LXXXIV, 1-2/2011 Vukajlo GLUŠČEVIć* FACTORS OF MIGRATORY MOVEMENTS OF POPULATION OF MONTENEGRO IN XIX CENTURY ABSTRACT: The paper deals with conditions of migration movements from, within and in the Montenegro during the XIX century. Although more population left to settle in other countries, Serbia in the first place, Montenegro was also on the receptive side – providing home for emigrants – refugees – from other parts of the Balkan Peninsula fleeing from the Turkish terror. KEY wORDS: Montenegro, migrations of population, 19th century. The geographical position of Montenegro and influences of the oldest civilisations and cultures of Southern Europe had a crucial impact on early settlement of the territory of the present-day Montenegro as well as on the level of mobility of its population. The entire Montenegrin history is char- acterised to a high degree by migratory movements of various peoples from prehistory to the recent times. In this respect, particularly significant was the migration of the Slavs, whose migratory domination marked the end of the Roman and the beginning of the Slavic rule. After the Great Migration of peoples, broader-range migratory movements in the Balkans were recorded in the time of Turkish conquest of these area. Part of those migratory waves was the migration of Christian population (Serbs) from the areas of Koso- vo and Scutary (Shkoder). Fearing the Turkish reprisals, people fled towards Zeta and the Seaside. Started in the late 14th, this migratory process contin- ued through the 15th century. However, as of the late 15th century, migrations of the Montenegrin population also started so that in this respect Montenegro represents a tru- ly metanastatic (migratory) region from which, in all periods, more people would move out than in.

  • Montenegro's Tribal Legacy
    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Montenegro's Tribal Legacy by Major Steven C. Calhoun, US Army Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared in Military Review July-August 2000 The mentality of our people is still very patriarchal. Here the knife, revenge and a tribal (plemenski) system exist as nowhere else.1 The whole country is interconnected and almost everyone knows everyone else. Montenegro is nothing but a large family—all of this augurs nothing good. —Mihajlo Dedejic2 When the military receives an order to deploy into a particular area, planners focus on the terrain so the military can use the ground to its advantage. Montenegro provides an abundance of terrain to study, and it is apparent from the rugged karst topography how this tiny republic received its moniker—the Black Mountain. The territory of Montenegro borders Croatia, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania and is about the size of Connecticut. Together with the much larger republic of Serbia, Montenegro makes up the current Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). But the jagged terrain of Montenegro is only part of the military equation. Montenegro has a complex, multilayered society in which tribe and clan can still influence attitudes and loyalties. Misunderstanding tribal dynamics can lead a mission to failure. Russian misunderstanding of tribal and clan influence led to unsuccessful interventions in Afghanistan and Chechnya.3 In Afghanistan, the rural population's tribal organization facilitated their initial resistance to the Soviets.

This chaotic situation was combined with the arbitrary and repressive conduct of local Ottoman feudal lords. Migrations, interethnic contacts and mixing of populations as well as an intensified Islamization process caused by a number of factors greatly complicated the situation. Albanian northward penetration along the Lim and into Pešter as well as the expan- sion of the Vasojevići tribe into the Upper Lim valley added to the complexity of the ethnic and demographic picture of the region. Perpetual rebellions against the Otto- man occupation eventually led to the liberation of the Serbian Orthodox population of these areas.
