Professor from university of Ljubljana says that geomorphological heterogeneity also caused topoclimatic heterogeneity, so the found out in recent years, for example, that minimum temperatures in some localities on Durmitor and Sinjajevina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinjajevina) often fall bellow -30c.
"The lowest temperature we measured in locality Valoviti do, on Durmitor, was -40c on January 4, 2011, and on Sinjajevina on December 13, 2012 it was -38.5c" say Ogrin.

About Valoviti Do, since 1:30 https://youtu.be/lxCjgnWtIkU?t=90

Today min in Kosanica was -6.3c and max was 21.8c (daily amplitude of 28.1c)

Yesterday max was 21.5c and today in the 6:00 AM temperature dropped to -6.3c (drop of 27.8c in 15-16 hours)

Montenegro has very diverse climate for such small country. Montenegro is associated with Med climate. But most of Montenegro is not Med. Real Med climate is limited on the coast and several km from coast. Zeta plain and area around Danilovgrad have modified Med climate.
Montenegro has various extremes. Relatively common over 40c in Podgorica in the summer when the asphalt melts from the heat, high amount of rain in some parts (Cetinje, Crkvice, Grahovo etc), heavy snowfalls and low temperatures in some parts in the winter etc.
Even people in Montenegro in leaning to the extremes. From Serbian ultra nationalist to the very anti-Serbian ones (and all the nuances in between).

Another example.

Minimum in Kosanica this morning was -11.2c and min in Bar (coastal city) was +16.3c

-24.3c was the lowest temperature in Kosanica last night recorded in 00:30 AM. After that came the clouds and the temperature began to rise. If it remained clear sky until morning the temperature would drop to about -30c

Karajukića Bunari in Serbia dropped to -23.8c last night, and Sjenica to -19.4c

Montenegro is a Med country, at least stereotypically.

One guy from Montenegrin forum says he was driving via Kosanica in February 2012 and thermometer on his car showed -35c
For comparison in February 2012 the lowest temperature in Sjenica (the coldest town in Serbia) was "only" -26.8c
