Boka kotorska or bay of Cattaro is Montenegrin in 10 century then it was called Duklja, principaliti of Duklja till 10 to 12 century, then serbs under Nemanjic family ocupied land, after that it was under Venetia, in 1813 Napoleons army was defeate by Montenegrins under comand of Petar Petrović 1 saint Peter of Cetinje, and then it was taken back into Montenegrin hands, where remained until serbian ocupation of montenegro 1918 and kingdom of yugoslavia.
People in Boka Kotorska ( my origins are from boka kkotorska my first ancestor was recorded on chapel in Škaljari in Kotor in 1375.) But im not false like todays bokeljans who say boka is dalmatia, no, boka is and will be Montenegro.
