Montenegrins are a South Slavic people who are primarily associated with the Montenegro. They form an ethnic minority in Kosovo.

The Montenegrins were primarily concentrated in the municipalities of Peć, Pristina, Kosovska Mitrovica, Istok, Dečani, and Đakovica, until 1961. In the period from 1961–1981, the Montenegrins disappeared from 243 settlements, which, combined with the 760 settlements that had no Montenegrin inhabitants in 1961, gives a total of 1,003 settlements without a single Montenegrin inhabitant. As a result of conflicts with the ethnically dominant Albanians, many Montenegrins moved from Kosovo to Montenegro or to Serbia proper.

The Republic of Kosovo has in December 2008 officially recognized the Montenegrin national minority in Kosovo.^[1]^[2]^[3]
