Montenegrin National Army[1] (Serbian: Црногорска народна војска / Crnogorska narodna vojska)[2] was an army whose supreme commander was Montenegrin collaborationist politician and separatist Sekula Drljević.[3] When Pavle Đurišić retreated with his forces from Montenegro toward Slovenia in 1945, he made a safe-conduct agreement with Drljević. According to this contract Đurišićs forces were aligned with Drljević as the "Montenegrin National Army" with Đurišić retaining operational command, based on instructions of Drljević.[4]
