"Ubavoj nam Crnoj Gori" (Serbian: Убавој нам Црној Гори, English: To Our Beautiful Montenegro) was the national and state anthem of the Kingdom of Montenegro in the late 19th-early 20th century.^[1] A popular song called "Onamo, 'namo!" (English: "There, o'er There!") also existed. The educational system had an honorific song, the Hymn to Saint Sava, which was sung in the Saint's honour.

The lyrics were made in 1865^[2] by the Serb poet and a priest named Jovan Sundečić, who was the secretary of Prince Nikola I of Montenegro.^[3] The music was composed by Jovo Ivanišević, drawing from "Uskliknimo s ljubavlju", hymn to Saint Sava^[4] and later adapted by Anton Schulz.^[5] The anthem was first performed on October 17, 1870, after which Prince Nikola declared it as the state anthem.^[6] In 1993, it was one of the proposals during the unsuccessful negotiations to adopt a regional anthem of the then-Yugoslav republic of Montenegro.^[7] The main problem was its monarchist lyrics, which were unfitting for Montenegro as at the time it was a republican state.
