ETHNICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INHABITANTS OF MONTENEGRO AND ŠUMADIJA

Abstract

On the basis of anthropogeographic material on the origin of the inhabitants of Šumadija, from which it can be seen that the strong migratory flow from the area of Montenegro played the greatest role in the formation of the present inhabitants of Sumadija (migrations from the 17th till the end of the 19th century), the author considers the ethnical relationship between the inhabitants of Montenegro and Šumadija which is expressed in different fields of culture, especially the spiritual culture of the inhabitants of Šumadija.
