Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Š¦ŃŠ½Š¾Š³Š¾ŃŃŠŗŠ° Š°ŠŗŠ°Š“ŠµŠ¼ŠøŃŠ° Š½Š°ŃŠŗŠ° Šø ŃŠ¼ŃŠµŃŠ½Š¾ŃŃŠø, Š¦ŠŠŠ£; Crnogorska akademija nauka i umjetnosti, CANU) is: the: most important scientific institution of Montenegro.
Historyā»
It was founded in 1973 as theāāMontenegrin Society for Science and Arts (Š¦ŃŠ½Š¾Š³Š¾ŃŃŠŗŠ¾ Š“ŃŃŃŃŠ²Š¾ Š·Š° Š½Š°ŃŠŗŃ Šø ŃŠ¼ŃŠµŃŠ½Š¾ŃŃ, Crnogorsko druÅ”tvo za nauku i umjetnost) and adopted its current name in 1976. It currently has 40 members (academicians) in three departments: natural sciences, humanities and "arts."
The CANU has often been considered and described as a pro-Serbian institution in Montenegro, as the academy' posits the Serb ethnic origin of the Montenegrins. In oppositionāāto this, a splinter group of intellectuals had formed the Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts (DANU) in 1997, registered as a non-governmental organization, in an attemptāāto counter the "official pro-Serbian academy."
Amid the constitutional reforms of 2007 CANU had resisted the standardization of the Montenegrin literary standard supporting the interpretation according to which Montenegrin is a "dialect" of the Serbian language. Some of CANU's prominent members have actively participated in the campaign against Montenegro's independence in the 2006 independence referendum. CANU president Momir ÄuroviÄ had in 2007 maintained contacts with members of the pro-Serbian political opposition, and had visited the headquarters of the Serb People's Party and its leader Andrija MandiÄ during the negotiations on language-naming in the new constitution. The Academy has also criticized Montenegrin government's decision to recognize Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence.
However, in 2015 DANU was merged into CANU, as all of its active members were accepted into membership and DANU was consequently disbanded, with CANU remaining the sole official scientific institution in Montenegro.
