The only thing they didn't mention is that half of all Montenegrin Serbs live in Serbia. In fact, one may wonder if Serbia has any other talent. Miloshevich is only one of them; Zhelko Raznatovich -- Arkan was one; Radovan Karadzhich is one, as was his name-sake Vuk Stefanovich-Karadzhich, father of the bastardized Serbian language/alphabet; so was the famous Milovan Djilas, the first "Dissident," and one-time Tito's Numero 2; Petar-Petrovich Nyegosh, a poet and priest-prince of Montenegro, one of the most cherrished heroes of Serb literature ("Gorski Viyenats" and many more), etc.

Without Montenegrins, the Serbian Orthodox Church would have been beheaded when its Patriarchy was destroyed by Turks in the city of Pech, in Kosovo, in the 17th century as a reprisal for Serbian uprisings. Montenegrins kept the Church alive.

But, the key to understanding this issue was best put by none other than the first and last Montenegrin King, Nikola I Petrovich: "All Montenegrins are Serbs, but not all Serbs are Montenegrins."
