GRAĐANSKE I REFORMSKE SNAGE U CRNOJ GORI PREMA RATU PROTIV BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
CIVIL AND REFORM FORCES IN MONTENEGRO TOWARDS THE WAR AGAINST BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to review, based on the available sources, the role of democratic and civic forces in Montenegro which were against sending Montenegrin reservists to war in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, this topic can be analyzed from different aspects, social, political, national, sociological, international, historical, etc. The objective of this study is to highlight the most notable individuals, groups of intellectuals, political organizations, and other associations that advocated for anti-war policies, their treatment by the authorities, and the humiliation and persecution they suffered for their views, all within the social and political context of the time. One of the challenges in writing this paper was the lack of access to archival materials, which are still not available. Consequently, this study relied heavily on the excerpts of the only independent publication in Montenegro at the time, Monitor, and the newspaper Liberal, the publications of the Liberal Alliance, as they reported on anti-war protests, interviews with prominent intellectuals, forms of resistance of various organizations and parties. Although the press is a secondary source, it provided valuable testimony in the absence of archival material.
