"Oj, svijetla majska zoro" (Cyrillic: "Ој, свијетла мајска зоро", English: "Oh, Bright Dawn of May") is the national anthem of Montenegro, adopted in 2004. Before its adoption, it was a popular folk song with many variations of its text. The oldest version dates back to the second half of the 19th century.
As the president of Montenegro, Filip Vujanović participated, on several occasions, in public debates regarding the disputed parts of the national anthem. When it was first adopted, the official text of the anthem also included two stanzas (third and fourth) sung by the Montenegrin fascist and war criminal Sekula Drljević. Controversy over the disputed parts of the anthem in the following years led to open divisions among the citizens of Montenegro, and Vujanović himself on various occasions publicly criticized the adoption of Drljević's stanzas, from which he distanced himself, advocating changes to the official text of the anthem. Vujanović repeatedly pointed out that the adoption of Drljević's verses was not acceptable because their creator was a fascist or Nazi.
