Serbian and Montenegrin languages ??were separated from each other and recognized in different languages. The decision to recognize the Montenegrin language and separate it from the Serbian language was taken by the International Organization for Standardization,. The authorities in Montenegro reported that the country received an international ISO code for the Montenegrin language from the International Organization for Standardization. The National Library of Montenegro, which for nine years conducted the process of recognition of the Montenegrin language, reported that it was given a new code - CRN. The name of the language in English and French is written the same - Montenegrin, but has a different pronunciation. The dispute over the status of the Serbian language in independent Montenegro began in 2007, a year after the country's secession from Serbia, when it adopted a new constitution in which Montenegrin was recognized as the official language, which aroused indignation of the Serbian community. The Montenegrin language was official in the country's educational system since 2011, although most people use Serbian. According to the latest census in 2011, 36% of people said they speak Montenegrin, and 44% of citizens said they speak Serbian. After months of stalemate, the Montenegrin government and opposition leaders agreed in September 2011 that the academic subject in the country's education system will be called "Montenegrin - Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Literature", which was seen as a compromise in favor of the large Serbian community in the country. The curriculum for schools has remained almost the same, with the addition of a new Montenegrin alphabet containing 32 letters, both in Latin and Cyrillic, compared with the Serbian, having 30 letters.

However, Serbian opposition parties, non-governmental organizations and scientists argue that since 2011 there is discrimination of the Serbian language and Cyrillic writing.
