Following the disintegration of the medieval Serbian state of the Nemanjici and the Ottoman subjugation of Serb-inhabitted lands an old system of clan organization sprung in many Dinaric areas such as Montenegro, Herzegovina, the Highlands , Krajina, Bosnia and Serbia.
This clan system has survived to this day mostly in Montenegro.
