Roman Catholics in Montenegro??

[Boleslaw]

Is there a significant population of Roman Catholics living in Montenegro today?

Hardly - it's less than 1.5%. Most of them live in Gulf of Kotor, or Boka Kotorska (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boka_Kotorska), where they form 29% versus 71% of Eastern-Orthodoxes.

There's about 8,500 Roman-Catholics living in Boka. I can't find any data on total number of Roman-Catholics in whole Montenegro, but it can't be more than 10,000 at its best. (Total population of Montenegro is 672,656 according to 2003 Census (http://www.njegos.org/census/index.htm)). They are all Serbian-speaking, and today most of them declare as "Croats" (app. 7,000), while the rest declare as either "Serbs" or "Montenegrins".

They've declared Croats as long as the modern sense of ethnicity exists. Boka Kotorska was once by high majority Croatian until most of them were expelled or moved due to impovrishment. Biggest immigrant diaspora of Boka Croats are today in Australia where they even have their own organizations.

Hmmm....interesting. Reason why I ask is because I have a friend whose from Montenegro and she's also Catholic.
