If Montenegrins are Serbs,I am Clint Eastwood.We created state in 6th century,you created it in 7th.You call it "Serbian state" or "principality" or "country".Seriously?Why would we have state in Middle Ages,not unite with yours,and yet worse,why Duklja (Montenegro) was at wars with Rascia (Serbia)?Serbia after all,in 1180's,conquered it by war.And on modern history of ours.
First to make it clear.I am not follower of Milo,nor I will ever be.I won't talk right now about his mafia government.
Term of "Serbdom" was never known to Montenegrin people,until up about 1840's.You may put up falsificated letters from beyond that period,but that won't help,my friend.
"Serbdom" came with Vuk Karadzic,reformer of Serbian language,and with Ilija Garasanin,Serbian politician and Prime Minister.First target that started it was Njegos,Montenegrin Prince-Bishop.Of course Vuk was some time at him and he presented him his work "SERBS - Everyone and everywhere" ("Srbi svi i svuda") .That was,together with "Nacertanije" of Ilija Garasanin,first step that leaded to Serbicizing,or accepting Serb ideology.
Of course,under Vuk's influence,Montenegrin Prince-Bishop wrote famous book "The Mountain Wreath" .It is amazing piece of poetry,but what it contained lead to accepting of Serbdom.His sucessors,Prince Danilo and King Nikola also continued with ideology.Only at end of his life,after World War 1,when Serbian King,who was his grandson,forbidden him from coming back to Montenegro,he realised how fake these theories were.
Theories that Montenegrins are Serbs that came here after Battle of Kosovo are not true,because Montenegro (called Zeta at a time),already had Balsic dynasty ruling,and there were already many people and clans,of which we descend from.
Montenegrin people always knew who they are.Today,on Cetinje,center of Old Montenegro,everyone will tell you that they are Montenegrins,old men also.Only on north of Montenegro,there are "Serbs".
On this elections,Serbs also "sold themselves",they were bribed to vote for Milo.
Why do you want to appoint our history for yourselves?Probably because you were under Turks for 5 centuries,while down south,near the sea a handful of men lived free.
I lived in Montenegro,and I lived in Serbia,in Nis.People have different mentality,very different,that's for sure.I can't draw any similarities between them.
Please,stop doing this.We two are brotherly people,and I like Serbs,just don't make up what we really are.
