The way of life in this region has for centuries been determined by a struggle for survival in freedom. This is way the people are strongly built and are very high. Bravery and courage (“cojstvo” and “junastvo”), as two very important moral values, are strong characteristics of the philosophy of life of the Montenegrin people.
     
While, as believed among the people, courage (“junastvo”) is protecting oneself from another; bravery (“cojstvo”) is defending another person from your temper or anger. Because the Montenegrins are dedicated to tradition, moral, customs and history they are as a nation very adaptable, communicative and hospitable. They have a strong trait of collectivism and old-fashioned customs and upbringing.  Even in a modern Montenegrin family the strong relationship among the family members is obvious, as well as the readiness of all the members to help each other in overcoming life crises. The Montenegrins are Orthodox by confession, but in Montenegro there has been a tolerance among all religions for centuries. Thanks to this life culture, different religions – the Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims – live in harmony and understanding in Montenegro. The official language is Serbian, and two letters are in use, both Cyrillic and Latin.
