No but in last draft it was stated:

    C(lan 15(Jezik i pismo)- U Crnoj Gori u slu`benoj upotrebi je 
crnogorski jezik.
    15. Language - In montenegro in official usage is Montenegrin language.

And I am putting forward the position that I have right to call my 
language as I think, and that you have same right for yours. And if I 
say that you don't have right to tell me that I call it with wrong name 
and that you are using the wrong name.... To where this leads? To 
separation? Divorce? No love? No happiness? No kids(any good)?

At least please respect right of people to call their language as they 
think it is appropriate. If you have some evidence that show different 
please share with me, and if it is just based on your impression, ok I 
will not comment it again.

I sad that this matter affect half of million. In that number are 
included speakers and listeners. And when new constitution comes this 
number will be greatly different in both speakers and listeners. One 
point here that last few decades showed very strange variations in data 
about Montenegro.
