Hoi,
Sabine asked some colleagues (translators) on the mailing lists for 
professional translators about Montenegrin, the universal answer is that 
Montenegrin and Serbian is the same language. The point here is that 
when it DOES make a difference, translators will have business by 
adapting it for use on the Montenegrin market. In this a text prepared 
for the Dutch market is different from a Belgian market because there 
being a big discrepancy in the vocabulary .. all this does not deny us 
both speaking Dutch.

Thanks,
    GerardM
