According to Vujanovic, ethnic, religious and cultural diversity has been a source of strength for Montenegro over the centuries. Montenegro not only steered clear of the ethnic conflicts that erupted during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, he said, but also gave shelter to refugees of differing ethnicities who were fleeing the conflict.
Prema Vujanovićevim rečima, etnička, verska i kulturna različitost vekovima je bila izvor snage za Crnu Goru, koja je uspela ne samo da izbegne međunacionalne sukobe koji su izbili tokom raspada bivše Jugoslavije, već i da pruži utočište izbeglicama različitih nacionalnosti koje su bežale od rata.
