Are Montenegrins Serbs?

[Varda]

Among Serbs is very widespread claim of deeper origin from Montenegro and Herzegovina. Serbs on that way prove purity of own Serbian origin.

As far as I understood, Montenegro to Serbia is what Austria is to Germany.

There's no proof that they are.

What kind of proof do you need?

Most of the Serbs in Serbia with deeper origin from Montenegro are in central and western Serbia. Migrations from Montenegro to Serbia were permanent in the late 17th, 18tj and 19th century and that Serbs settled in rural parts of Serbia.

Not forget Toplica region in southeastern Serbia, it was settled by Montenegrins in 1890.



After the liberation of Toplica and other southern and southeastern parts of Serbia from the Turks in 1878, some areas, due to the emigration of the Albanian and Turkish population, remained deserted, including Toplica. In order to settle these areas, Serbia passed a law on the settlement of these areas in 1880, in which the settlement of Toplica took the central place. The law regulated settlement conditions.

In 1889, there was a great drought in Montenegro, as in previous years. Economic conditions were constantly deteriorating, which, in addition to the drought, was particularly affected by high birth rates, lack of fertile land, and some other factors that acted in the complex, and therefore Montenegro found itself in a severe economic crisis. There was no other way out but to move out.

As the political situation in Serbia improved, after the departure of the King of Milan, the "doors" of Serbia were reopened to Montenegrin emigrants.

The practical organization of the Montenegrin poor people for emigration to Serbia has begun in Montenegro. The Serbian government decided that in 1889, about 6,000 people from Montenegro could immigrate. The interest was much higher, so that everyone who wanted to emigrate to Serbia could not be met. Some leaders of Montenegrin tribes enumerated significantly more people for emigration than was foreseen by the decision of the Montenegrin government.

I know for colonization of Toplica by Serbs from Montenegro, Herzegovina and Raška in the time of king Milan. Husband of one my cousin was from Toplica (from some village near Jastrebac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jastrebac), his family settled there in the late 19th century from Montenegro. He surname is typical for Vasojevići clan.

In Toplica also exist native Serbs, not only colonists from the late 19th century. But i think descendants of the colonists are more numerous.

Ivica Dačić is from Toplica (from Žitorađa). His ancestors are probably native, because once said he is not of Montenegrin origin by any line and also never mentioned further origin from some other region outside of Toplica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivica_Dačić#Early_life
