Talk:Petar Lubarda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1. Actually Cetinje is 90%, rather than 96% Montenegrin (though I don't see what has this got to do with Lubarda himself)
2. With the formation of Communist Yugoslavia after 1945, Petar Lubarda opted for the Serbian national confession, and never the Montenegrin one (although that simply cannot change the fact he himself is a Montenegrin). --PaxEquilibrium 22:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Montenegrin' or 'Montenegrin Serb'?

Since recent growing tensions in Montenegro between national Montenegrin and Montenegrin Serb opting, not to raise any further controversy, I think that we should replace 'Montenegrin' with 'Montenegrin Serb' reference, to avoid any confusion about Lubarda's ethnicity and country of origin.

'Serbian' by default means 'from Serbia', and 'Montenegrin' 'from Montenegro', assuming that the talk is about a person of Serb and Montenegrin ethnicity, respectively. As well as in Bosnia, where we have Bosnian Serb, Bosnian Croat and 'Bosnian' which is by default 'Bosnian Bosniak', in Montenegro we have ethnic Serbs, who differ from Montenegrins only in the way they opt for themselves, but are de facto people of one language and ethnic background. Lubarda is ethnically and nationally (we talk about former Yugoslavia) declared Serb and therefore Serbian, but given his geographical background and the fact that today Montenegro is a separate country and nation, he is also retroactively Montenegrin, but not 'default Montenegrin' (Montenegrin Montenegrin), but Montenegrin Serb.
