Mrkojevići (alternatively Mrkovići, in Montenergin Мркојевићи/Мрковићи, in Albanian Mërkot) is a historical ethno-local community and region in southwestern Montenegro, located between the towns of Bar and Ulcinj.[1] The region borders Krajina to the east. The Mrkojevići form a distinct ethno-geographical group with their own dialect of the Serbo-Croatian language, while also exhibiting a degree of bilingualism in Albanian. Their customs are distinct from their neighbouring Slavic and Albanian communities, but they also show influence and contacts with them. In the 400-year Ottoman period, the Mrkojevići converted to Islam, which forms an important aspect of their cultural identity.[1]
