The article states that Montenegrin and Serb identities are not exclusive but this is not true They are exlusive acording to the constitution of Montenegro the constitutional charter of Serbia and Montenegro and half a dozen separate censuses since the mid 20th century all of which allow only one national identity to be declared These are the raw and unbiased facts not speculation On the other hand it is true that a number of Serbs and Montenegrins may believe that they have both identities but there is no modern census nor constitutional basis that can support a statement such as Montenegrin and Serb identities are not exclusive Many Montenegrins do not feel to be Serb and never pronounce themselves as such You can not force national groups to be Serb if they do not feel so and never declare as such However the number of Montenegrins does seem to be in steep decline since the introduction of the category by the Communists on the 1948 census seems to imply that the Communist regime declared the nationality of citizens in polls This is not true as citizens declared their nationaility in polls individually In fact the Communists for the first time allowed citizens to declare their nationality as Montenegrin by introducing the category which is more important If it stands like the previous user wants it to stand then we must add a sentence stipulating that the Serbian ruling dynasties in the pre World War II Yugoslavia banned Montenegrin citizens from declaring their nationality as Montenegrin This is as true as the Communist quirp as the Montenegrin option was obviously not allowed before World War II The article states that MOC was not re established in 1993 which is a fallacy The MOC has been legally registered in Montenegro in line with the valid legal system of the state of Montenegro and in line with the laws in Montenegro which is clearly apparent from the MOC page on Wikipedia The MOC Church is called the Montenegrin Orthodox Church in its formal registration in Montenegro so there is no space for speculation here The Church was re established after a separate existence until 1920 The article does not claim that MOC is a major branch of Eastern Orthodoxy outside Montenegro The statement over 74 of Montenegrins are Eastern Orthodox Christians most of whom belong to the Serb Orthodox Church is anyway a fallacy as there is no accurate census that can prove this One may say truthfully say that most Montenegrins are Eastern Orthodox Christians most of whom belong to the Serb Orthodox Church but a large number of Montenegrins are atheists agnostics or otherwise myself included Being a Montenegrin does not mean that you are part of the 74 of Eastern Orthodox Christians Sorry this is the 21st century You can not just delete the fact that MOC followers claim that all of the existing churches in Montenegro were once part of an autonomous Montenegrin Orthodox Church that was abolished following the union with Serbia in 1918 This is the explanation why shrines are not being built en masse in Montenegro by the MOC as it claims to inherit the churches currently in the hands of SOC If we put only one viewpoint in its following is small to the point of non existence and it has not been recognised by any other Orthodox Church it is not balanced Also the statement its following is small to the point of non existence needs to be based on fact not fancy Do you have an official census of followers or is this based on the fact that you are a believer of the SOC The sentence The validity of the referendum was not confirmed by international observers as the allegedly free and democratic vote in fact took place during wartime in the former Yugoslavia is true So I leave it Of course I agree to change international into OSCE EU and US as the referendum may have had international monitoring from Cuba Iraq North Korea Byelorussia and Russia user 20 28 04 Oct 2005 UTC
