expand_more Description

The Montenegrins are closely related to the Serbs. Montenegrins speak the Stokavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian and call their republic Crna Gora, meaning "Black Mountain." Where agriculture is possible, farming is of major importance; herding with seasonal movement of animals is important elsewhere. Industry is not that developed. In contrast to the Serbs, clan and tribal groups were of major importance.
