Popis: Distanciranje Crne Gore od državne zajednice sa Srbijom otpočinje krajem 1990-ih, u vremenu u kojem je promotorima srpske velikodržavne ideologije izrazito sužen prostor da takvo što spriječe silom. Stoga se posegnulo za drugim instrumentima usmjerenima na uništenje ili minoriziranje identitetne konstrukcije nacionalnog crnogorstva među pravoslavnom populacijom Crne Gore te na njezino nadomještanje nacionalnim srpstvom, uz ispravnu procjenu da je nacionalno crnogorstvo glavna snaga u samosvojnom uobličavanju Crne Gore. Takva kojoj je najbolje suprotstaviti od dijela nekadašnjih nacionalnih Crnogoraca oblikovani »srpski narod u Crnoj Gori« kako bi se tu zemlju zadržalo, odnosno, nakon postizanja neovisnosti 2006. vratilo pod srpsko državno okrilje. U ovome radu dat ćemo prikaz povijesnog razvoja koji je omogućio da prikazani vid srpskog velikodržavnog djelovanja u Crnoj Gori bude relativno uspješan, a zatim i uvid u postojeće političke i nacionalne-demografske suodnose u toj zemlji. Ujedno, analizirat ćemo uzroke koji utječu na to da se nacionalno crnogorstvo teško nosi s pokušajima vlastite identitetne destrukcije te istaknuti razloge zbog kojih bi u svojim naporima za samoodržanjem trebali dobiti sasvim konkretnu podršku regionalnih i euroatlantskih struktura.
The distancing of Montenegro from the state union with Serbia began in the late 1990s, a time when proponents of the Greater Serbian nationalist ideology had significantly limited capacity to prevent it by force. Therefore, they resorted to other instruments aimed at the destruction or marginalization of identity construction of Montenegrin nationalism among the Orthodox population of Montenegro, and its replacement with Serbian national identity. They correctly assessed that Montenegrin nationalism was the main force in shaping an independent Montenegro. To counter this, they used the “Serbian people in Montenegro” formed from a faction of former Montenegrin nationals, with the aim of retaining, and after achieving independence in 2006, also returning the country under Serbian state protection. This paper will provide an overview of the historical development that enabled this relatively successful implementation of the form of Serbian Greater nationalist activity in Montenegro, as well as an insight into the existing political and national-demographic inter-relations in the country. Additionally, we will analyze the factors that make it difficult for Montenegrin nationalism to cope with attempts of its own identity destruction, and emphasize the reasons why they should receive concrete support from regional and Euro-Atlantic structures in their self-preservation efforts.
