Summary/Abstract: Image of the Montenegrins in Croatian and Serbian popular literature on the one hand and on the other hand even in the modern literature is mainly depicted in the context of theirs long struggle for freedom against Ottoman yoke. Due to ethnic and historical particularities, Montenegrins were presented as half Serbian or Serbs and in other contexts as an uncertain mixture of Illyrs and Slavs with a not very well defined ethnic consciousness. In the same time they were in the first line in the context of joint south Slavs military operations against the Ottoman Empire from the end of XIX century till the first quarter of the XX century.
