I've read that clannish ties still mean quite a lot for Montenegrins. Though not as much as in the past. And what is more important for Serbs: clan (extended family), neighbours, nation, religion, race, something else of this kind? Please mark what in your opinion is more important for Serbs in general and what is less important.

It's a dairy product made out of cow's or goat's milk. I'm not 100% sure but I think it might be clotted cream in English. There are also two types of kajmak, the one that is milder/sweeter and one that has a very strong and distinct flavour that will make you stink for 3 days.

Yes clans are still important for Montenegrins and probably most important. For Serbs most important is nation and probably area where someone is born like Bosnia, Vojvodina, Sumadija etc.

This is my opinion: nuclear family is most important. Nation is more important than clan (pleme, there are no more clans among Serbs). Religion is very important as part of national and cultural identity, even though we are not very regular churchgoers.
