Old Montenegro

Old Montenegro (Serbian: Стара Црна Гора) is a geo-historical part of the modern Republic of Montenegro. It refers to the territory of the Principality of Montenegrin (as recognised by the Congress of Berlin in 1878) prior to its expansion and the proclamation of a kingdom during the Balkan Wars. It includes four areas also referred to as nahije: Katun, Rijeka, Lješ and Crmnica.
