In 2006, this country with a population of about 620 thousand people became an independent state. The Montenegrin symbol politics and the disputes surrounding it are analyzed within a wider sociopolitical and historical context. The case of Montenegro illustrates how contradictory the role of national symbols might be in a polarized society. Disagreements over symbols can therefore act as a sort of litmus test to indicate the existing political and identity divisions. Each symbolic element involved in the continuous process of negotiating identity becomes a matter of fundamental importance.}, title={Między podziałami a wspólnotą: symbole narodowe Czarnogóry}, type={Text}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/72249/PDF/WA303_94712_A453-SzDR-53-2_Melnytska.pdf}, volume={53}, number={2}, journal={Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej}, publisher={Instytut Historii im.
