Abstract
This study analyzes the Resolution of the Podgorica Assembly (November 26, 1918), a pivotal document in the history of Montenegro, which formalized the unification of Montenegro with Serbia and led to the abolition of the Petrović-Njegoš dynasty. Despite its crucial impact, the resolution has long been overlooked in Western historiography, overshadowed by the broader narrative of Serbian-Croatian relations. This paper examines the political, historiographical, and identity-related implications of the Assembly’s decisions. By contextualizing the historical background – including Montenegro’s involvement in World War I, the exile of King Nikola, and the occupation by Allied forces – the article interrogates the legitimacy of the Assembly, the contested nature of Montenegrin identity, and the duality between unionist and independentist visions. Ultimately, the Podgorica Assembly is interpreted as a defining moment in the broader “Montenegrin Question”: the enduring historical process of state and national identity formation in Montenegro.
