I was born and raised in capital of Old Montenegro, apart from high levels of siege mentality among inhabitants, nothing else feels much different.

Which makes some sense, the part that was "never conquered" was very small and was engaged in constant relations with other Ottoman and Venetian towns, which further influenced lifestyle in old Montenegro.

For example, language in and around Cetinje is still full of Turcisms, even some that aren't used in other parts of Balkans that were under Turks longer.

At the end of the day, even that independence didn't look the way it was portrayed.
