Summary

Berane Plav

The population of the northeastern Montenegro is characterized by a steady decline in relation to the dynamics of the population. The numerical increase in the population amounted in the period 1948 - 2011, 1.235 inhabitants, but with a declining trend in the municipality of Andrijevica (10.067-5.071) and municipality Plav (15.674-13.108). The reasons for the depopulation in these municipalities are in a negative natural increase, primarily in the large emigration population from the economically underdeveloped communities. Observing at the changes in the movement of the total population in Northeastern Montenegro by municipalities, we can conclude that the Municipality of Berane has increased steadily in population, while municipalities Andrijevica and Plav had a continuing decline in the overall population trends.
