ethnic groups in duklja the dukljans being the latins who were slavic speaking catholics who were converted by stefan nemanja when he annexed duklja i believe todays montenegrins to be the descendents of these people the balsici where either albanian or vlach origin and promoted a independent zeta you cannot deny this there is nothing serbian about them except the fact that they spoke a dialect of it to me they are a symbol of the present day montenegrin identity which is heavily mixed with croatian and albanian cultures mixing of tribes croatian names last names all this said i view the balsici montenegrins although in those times they would be zetan or dukljan
