Summary/Abstract: The Montenegrin nation is constantly testing whether it exists or not only a temporary or passing creation, or a crowd of "born Serbs", or the "conspiracy" of the original Montenegrins. Namely, in oppositions, one tries to deny any possibility of Montenegrin national identity, or in proving its own national being, it resists every trace of Serbian ethnos in it. Montenegrins have enough national individuality and self-awareness that no change in daily politics, or The "verification" of the ruling regime, or the "order" of external forces cannot destroy or disrupt one's national feeling and determination, but it is likely that in the "new" historical trial, doubts or uncertainties for national and state survival.
