Herceg Novi or Herceg-Novi? --Ante Perkovic 17:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

or Herzeg Novi. I think its in official Montenegrin Herceg-Novi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.188.32.8 (talk) 08:30, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Herceg Novi is the Serbian Coastline.[edit]

Herceg Novi is a city where no enemy's propaganda could brainwash its inhabitants, by telling them that 'they're not Serbs, but Montenegrins, or something else'. Herceg Novi and its people are proudly saying that they are SERBS, and they will never be Montenegrins or Croats. In the past almost all the cities from Split to Ulcinj were like Herceg Novi: Dubrovnik, Makarska, Ston, Cavtat, Kotor, were once aware of their Serbiandom, but different propagandas during the Austro-Hungary era and onwards almost succeeded to brainwash majority of their inhabitants. Many Serbian oriented people were dislocated as well. The Serbian character of these cities, and plus the northern-Dalmatian cities of Zadar and Sibenik is obvious:-their inhabitants speak the East-Herzegovian Shtokavian dialect of the Serbo-Croatian Language, the same dialect that is spoken in Western Serbia, and a big part of Bosnia. Furthermore, the inhabitants od the cities mentioned above express the absolutely identical mentality and same genetical traits like the people in Serbia, Bosnia, or, if you like - like the people in Herceg Novi. This means all they belong to the same nation. These are the facts that kill croatian and montenegrin nationalists, but they are absolutely HELPLESS to do anything about it. It's all in the GENES of these same people, and it will stay that way forever. It's good that the Serbian national identity is awakening lately in the coastal cities of Budva, Bar, Tivat, and other cities. It's certain that the enemy's lies, hatred and propaganda against the Serbian identity of the people in these cities will fail. They will become what they really are-cities with Serbian national awareness, like the Big Hero - City of HERCEG NOVI.

Doesn't matter. The people of the country have supported the creation of the country and its independance has also been recognized by Serbia.

This does not remove their cultural or ethnic affiliations, but at least in that country, they have accepted to live together and NOT insist in saying everyone in the country is Serbian or Monenegrin. The country recognizes its multicultural heritage, including from Croats, Bosnians, Romanians, Albanians... And its borders have been accepted by Serbia (there remains only a dispute in one municipality bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina with a former district which is now in Macedonia and split between several village-districts of the new municipality of Herceg Novi, whose borders do not follow the border of the claim by B&H. But there's no war and the borders with B&H are largely open. Only in this small area the cyrillic script is still promoted by some Serbian nationalists, but msot of the country has now opted to the Latin script (just like most of Serbia itself), but Montengrops chose to not promote a new political language division and their language is considered identical to the one in Serbia (and in the autnomous Serbian Republic in B&H). Many people still think in Montenegro that this is the same language as Bosnian or Croatian, and are happy to live with some minor dialect differences and happy to have a richer language like this: they don't want to promote strict orthographic or grammatical rules to follow only the standard of one of their neighbours and the only remaining difference is not the langauge but the script used (which does not make any difference when speaking, and that they can both read easily, using basic transliterators that won't focus on minor orthographic problems). For them, the languager they use is simpler: it is Serbocroatian, predominently written now with the Latin script.

This is very different from the situation in the automous Serbian Republic of B&H where ethnic/cultural/political views are still extremely tied and people don't have any trust with people of the same area not in the same group. Even Serbia itself is much more peaceful with its neighbours and starts developing a multicultural acceptance as a force for its future and not a threat. I just hope that Serbo-Croatians will revive someday, but in a richer form than what was used in the Former Yugoslavia, and including cultures of Slovenians, Alvenians, Macedonians, Greeks, Italians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Turks, Hungarians to redevelop a common large culture and a more vivid language... verdy_p (talk) 22:36, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

–→ The majority of population in this area are Serbs, but that is not what big players want as they obviously see this as a potential threat to their own long and short term strategy. Due to this there is constant attack on everything what is Serb and serbian, the same is in all bordering territories (Kosovo, Serb Republic in BiH, Sandzak in Serbia, Dalmatia). Enormous funds are employed for this purpose. Look just here in the section about religion, there is no mention about Serbian Orthodox Church which is by far largest religous community in Herceg Novi and even majority of population declared as Montenegrin by nationality, are adherents of Serbian Orthodox Church! (not to go here into complex issue about Montenegrin nation, where within same family one brother is Montenegrin and other is Serb. What a joke!) Why there is no mention of Serbian Orthodox Church and what that serves? Utterly disgusting! But again in country where majority speaks Serbian language and despite that official language is Montenegrin, what to expect. No surprise there. God help us! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:362D:7300:EDD9:9BF0:7D3E:85A4 (talk) 09:13, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
