============

Religious structure in 2011:

[Vožd]

But 1931. arround 95% of population said that speak Serbian.

[Morlak]

Reason why Serbs appeared in huge numbers in 2003 is because this was a phase of huge Montenegrin separatism, so Montenegrins who rejected those ideas of separate Montenegrin nation declared as Serbs

Thanks, it makes sense.

[Bosniensis]

Those are Religius & Political ethnicities. Nations are Tribal communities not religious groups.

Montenegrins are Nationalists who dislike SPC and support Montenegrins Orthodox Church, while Bosniaks are muslims.

That is not entirely true. There is people who still declare as Montnegrin but support Serbian Church and Serbian language.

There is 28% Serbs in Montenegro but 55% said they call their mother tounge Serbian. Which shows you that a big chunk of people who identify as Montenegrins are pro-serbian.

This is political reasons, they based their etnicity on nationality.

WHy do they call themselves Montenegrin then?

That's stupid.

If you are MONTENEGRIN... you can't have cousins among Serbs otherwise someone is lying.

If you are Montenegrin you can't have the same last name as Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats etc...

My case is typical example:

My family relative from Croatia calls himself Serb, while we call ourselves Bosniaks.

That's not possible!

But politicians say it is, and they support this... INSANE concept of ethnicity based on Religious and Political principle.

In Republika Srpska, President of republic called Opposition: "Undercover Fake-Serbs, cause they have voted for something ruling party did not"... I taught he was joking but he was dead
serious.

Politics and Religion, that's what our ethnicites are.

True ethnicities are based on Tribes for example:

Serbs are union of Serbian Tribes.

It seems that Albanians only got that concept right.

Yes I see your point. I just meant that not all people who identify as Montenegrins hate Serbian Church or Serbs in general.

But being Serb is not a political identity, it's Bosniak and Montenegro identity who are created for political/religion reasons.

Montenegro is one the oldest nations on the Balkan. Its always Serbs like you that think so negative about Montenegrin's.
