Abstract
The author presents the position of the Slovene communists with regards to the so-called Montenegrin question in 1923. In the context of a public political discussion on the national question, from May to December that year, the Yugoslav Communist Party (Komunistična stranka Yugoslavije) devised its multi-national, federal program. The author points out that it was the Slovene communists who first called for the recognition of Montenegro as a legal state entity and its inclusion in the Party\u27s federal program. He concludes that the political process, which eventually resulted in the formation of the Republic of ontenegro within the second, federal Yugoslav state, had actually been started as early as 1923 by the Slovene members of the YCP.Avtor predstavlja gledanje slovenskih komunistov na črnogorsko vprašanje leta 1923, t.j. v času, ko je Komunistična stranka Jugoslavije - od maja do decembra 1923 - v okviru javne teoretsko-politične razprave o nacionalnem vprašanju oblikovala svoj federativni narodni program. Opozarja, da so bili slovenski komunisti prvi, ki so v okviru KSJ zahtevali, naj komunistična stranka kot posebno državnopravno enoto vključi tudi Črno goro v svoj federativni narodno-državni načrt. Na tej osnovi ugotavlja, da je bil politični proces, ki je privedel do oblikovanja posebne črnogorske republike v drugi (federativni) jugoslovanski državi, sprožen že leta 1923 v slovenskem delu KSJ
