Serbian–Montenegrin unionism

Serbian–Montenegrin unionism (Serbian: Српско-црногорски унионизам, romanized: Srpsko-crnogorski unionizam) is a socio-political movement which arose in the Balkans after the breakup of Yugoslavia. It advocates Montenegro being in a political union with Serbia.

The Serbs and Montenegrins share common cultural traditions, including religion (majority of both ethnicities adhere to the Serbian Orthodox Church) and language (almost all of Serbs and relative majority of Montenegrins speak Serbian as their mother tongue). According to data from the 2023 Montenegrin census, 205,370 inhabitants or 32.9% of total population ethnically identified as "Serb", with 2,969 (<1%) identifying as "Serb-Montenegrin" or "Montenegrin-Serb". About two million people in Serbia have partial or full ancestry from present-day Montenegro, mostly tracing back to the 18th and 19th centuries, vast majority of whom identify ethnically as Serb, though many (particularly first- or second-generation descendants from Montenegro) also claim a fairly strong Montenegrin regional identity.
