This could be from the goths that were settled south of Danube.

You say you also have red hair gene,might be also from some member of varangian guard (varagian guard were paid vikings fighting as an elite unit for Byzantin Empire) that settled in Montenegro and marryed a local woman.

If you are also very tall,is very likely you have ancestor a varangian guard member.
(goths were not too tall).

However, this Y-DNA result is mine.
On my fathers side males have much stronger dinarid element and also darker and taller (1,86-1,96).
My patternal grandfather was Dinarid-Cromagnoid so he could not fit those nordic warrior types I think.
Anyway.. we can not tie Y-DNA haplogroups to phenotypes :)
But I think Goth invasion/movement is the most reasonable explanation for I1 people in Serbia and Montenegro.
My ancestry is from Old Herzegovina, there is a town in this area...

The present-day town of Nikšic developed around the Onogošt fortification.
The earliest remains of the Onogošt fortification date back to the 5-6th century. It was built by the East Goths. The name Anagastum derived from the gothic proper name. (I think it was the name of Goth military leader Anagast). In the Middle Ages, from Anagastum the name Onogošt derived.
Sami and finns have most present haplogrup N1C1.Swedes got most present I1.
However,at sami and finns 2nd present haplogrup is I1.
Sami have a bit more N1c than I1 that is true, the Norwegian-Saami are roughly 38-40% I1.
I2b1, via a paternal German lineage. This is more common in Germany than anywhere else.
