[[Rebecca West]] wrote that the district was originally named ''Kol I Shen'', which is Albanian for 'St. Nicholas', which was inhabited by Catholic Albanians who converted to Islam and who were expelled in 1858 by local tribes<ref>{{cite book |last1=West |first1=Rebecca |title=Black Lamb and Grey Falcon |date=2007 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-1-101-04268-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M7Epab59bbcC&q=Albanians&pg=PT30 |access-date=24 December 2019 |language=en}}</ref> |

Kolašin, fortress-settlement, was raised by the Turks in the middle of the 17th century in the namesake village in Nikšić district ([[nahiye]]). The village of Kolašin was first mentioned in the [[Suleiman the Magnificent|Sultan's]] Decree in 1565, by which the deceased Grand Duke Miloš was replaced by his son Todor.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} The Turkish town was named after the former village of Kolašin.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} |
|||
In 1651, [[Gavrilo I|Patriarch Gavrilo]] assigned [[Eparchy of Zahumlje and Herzegovina|Eparch of Zahumsko]], the [[Eparchy of Budimlje-Nikšić|Eparchy of Nikšić]], [[Velika Plana|Plana]], the Kolašinovićevs and the [[Morača]] to [[Basil of Ostrog]]. This document also, like the one from 1667, shows that the [[Orthodox Christianity|Orthodox Christian]] population of this region called the Kolašinovići, was organized in a recognized and respected tribal community of the Kolašinovićs. The historical science and sources recognize the surname Kolašinović. By all odds, the name was also derived, same as the name of the region, fortress – settlement and the tribe from the same source – the village of Kolašin.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}{{dubious|date=January 2022}} |

It was in 1798 when young ''Mina Radović'', the son of tke ''Duke Radule'', who had been killed by the Turks, ambushed and killed Hasanbeg Mekić, who had come to collect taxes, in the vicinity of [[Morača monastery]]. The attack had been arranged with the Montenegrin ruler [[Petar I Petrović-Njegoš]]. Mina Radović received the title of Duke and, in 1799, during the convention of the people's prominent representatives of Montenegro and the Hills held in [[Cetinje]], he was nominated a member of the Court Administration of Montenegro and the Hills, in charge of judicial and administrative power. This meant that the Montenegrin government considered the Morača region to be a legitimate part of Montenegro.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} |

Rebecca Wests visited the town of Kolasin in the 1930s where she learned that in the 18th century, Catholic Albanians and Orthodox Montenegrins lived in peace. In 1858, however, several Montenegrin tribes attacked the town and destroyed all the inhabitants who had kept their Albanian identity or who were Muslim.<ref>{{cite book |last1=ANDRÉ-LOUIS SANGUIN |first1=SANGUIN |title=MONTENEGRO IN REBECCA WEST'S BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: THE LITERATURE OF TRAVELLERS AS A SOURCE FOR POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY CRNA GORA U DJELU REBECCE WEST BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: PUTOPISI KAO IZVOR PODATAKA U POLITIČKOJ GEOGRAFIJI |date=2011 |publisher=1Sveučilište Paris-Sorbonne / University of Paris-Sorbonne |page=257 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/279468340 |access-date=26 March 2020}}</ref> |

| ⚫ | During this period, Kolašin was home to a significant [[Albanians|Albanian]] community. They were largely expelled in different waves during the late 19th century [[Expulsion of the Albanians, 1877–1878|expulsion of the Albanians]] fleeing to [[Turkey]], [[Kosovo]] ([[Pristina]])<ref>{{cite book |last1=Malcolm |first1=Noel |title=Kosovo: A Short History |date=1998 |publisher=Macmillan |isbn=978-0-333-66612-8 |page=229 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GGQ_AQAAIAAJ&q=Niksic |access-date=21 November 2019}}</ref> and [[Macedonia (region)|Macedonia]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Kultura popullore |date=1991 |publisher=Akademia e Shkencave e RSH |author=Instituti i Kulturës Popullore |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=imYoAQAAMAAJ&q=Nikshiqit 25] |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=imYoAQAAMAAJ |access-date=21 November 2019 |language=sq}}<br/>Translation:{{quote|118/5000 the process of expelling Albanians from their lands in Koloshin, Niksic Field, Zabjak and elsewhere.}}</ref> The Montenegrin forces also robbed the Albanians before the expulsion.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Maloku |first1=Enver |title=Dëbimet e shqiptarëve dhe kolonizimi i Kosovës (1877-1995) |date=1997 |publisher=Qendra për Informim e Kosovës |language=sq |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GjC5AAAAIAAJ&q=Nikshiqi |access-date=21 November 2019}}{{quote|Montenegrin army violence and property theft forced them to flee from Kolasin, Niksic, Shpuza, ...}}</ref> |

There is a document written by Duke Miljan Vukov, who headed the Vasojević tribe in that battle, about the attack on Kolašin in 1858. It was the bloodiest battle in all of Montenegro: ''I participated in many a battle as ? Flag bearer, captain and warlord – he testified – but none of them had been so fierce and bloody as was the battle for taking Kolašin in 1858, which was, truly, one of the bloodiest that had ever happened in the vicinity of Montenegro.'' {{citation needed|date=January 2022}} |
|||
The victory in that bloody battle established the new borders of Montenegro towards the regions that still remained under the Turkish rule. Fighting for liberation continued on the left bank of the [[Tara River (Montenegro)|Tara River]] around the Lower Kolašin villages. The Lipovo battle in 1872 is particularly remembered. There was no peace until the Congress of Berlin when Kolašin joined the principality Montenegro and later 1918. the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]] created immediately after the [[World War I]], all until it was disintegrated.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} |
|||
By the decisions of the [[Congress of Berlin]], in 1878, Kolašin officially became a part of Montenegro. This was preceded with fierce fighting with the [[Ottoman Empire]] over the Kolašin region. Constant battles had been waged by the members of [[Rovca]], [[Drobnjaci]], Morača, [[Vasojevići]], [[Uskoci]] and other Serbian tribes of Montenegro to take this and other parts of the land from the Ottomans. |

The Bulgarian foreign ministry compiled a report about the five [[kaza]]s ( |
The Bulgarian foreign ministry compiled a report about the five [[kaza]]s (districts) of the sanjak of the Novi Pazar in 1901-02. According to the Bulgarian report, the kaza of Kolašin was almost entirely populated by [[Albanians]]. According to it, the kaza of Kolašin had 27 Albanian villages with 732 households and 5 Serb villages with 75 households.<ref name="Bartl3">{{harvnb|Bartl|1968|p=63|ps=:Die Kaza Kolašin zählte 5 serbische Dörfer mit 75 Häusern und 27 albanische Dörfer mit 732 Häusern.}}</ref> |

A year or two after the Congress of Berlin, the Kolašin brigade of Montenegro's people's army was formed. During the World War I, by the end of 1915 and in the beginning of 1916, it played a major part under the command of Serdar [[Janko Vukotić]] as part of the [[Sandžak]] army. In the famous [[Battle of Mojkovac]], it successfully defended the ''gates of Mojkovac'' having repelled all the attack by much more numerous soldiers of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]] army. |
|||
In the liberation wars between 1912 and 1918, the brigade lost more than 1000 soldiers and officers. |
|||
In the [[World War II|Second World War]], the Kolašin region again suffered hardship, heavy human casualties and destruction, including a Partisan massacre of over 350 civilians on [[Orthodox Christmas]] in January 1942. After the [[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|Italian capitulation]], this part of Montenegro was free and so, on November 15 and 16, 1943, the ''First Session of the National Antifascist Council of Montenegro and Boka'' was held in Kolašin, attended by 544 delegates from all regions of Montenegro and 42 of them from Kolašin district, and its decisions were of critical importance for reconstruction and rebuilding of the Montenegrin state. In those days, Kolašin was the ''war capital'' of Montenegro. |
|||
The town of Kolašin changed hands several times between 1941 and 1944. It was bombarded 18 times by the [[Nazi Germany|Germans]] and Italians. Finally, on December 29, 1944, the town was conquered by the soldiers of the 5th Montenegrin Proletarian Brigade. In the national liberation struggle in the period of 1941–1945, more than 1400 soldiers from the Kolašin region took part and almost 400 died. Around 250 patriots lost their lives in various aggressors' torture chambers and on execution sites, and there were quite a lot of futile victims of fratricidal war. |

Etymology
[edit]Rebecca West wrote that the district was originally named Kol I Shen, which is Albanian for 'St. Nicholas', which was inhabited by Catholic Albanians who converted to Islam and who were expelled in 1858 by local tribes[1]
History
[edit]Late modern
[edit]Rebecca Wests visited the town of Kolasin in the 1930s where she learned that in the 18th century, Catholic Albanians and Orthodox Montenegrins lived in peace. In 1858, however, several Montenegrin tribes attacked the town and destroyed all the inhabitants who had kept their Albanian identity or who were Muslim.[2]
During this period, Kolašin was home to a significant Albanian community. They were largely expelled in different waves during the late 19th century expulsion of the Albanians fleeing to Turkey, Kosovo (Pristina)[3] and Macedonia.[4] The Montenegrin forces also robbed the Albanians before the expulsion.[5]
Contemporary
[edit]The Bulgarian foreign ministry compiled a report about the five kazas (districts) of the sanjak of the Novi Pazar in 1901-02. According to the Bulgarian report, the kaza of Kolašin was almost entirely populated by Albanians. According to it, the kaza of Kolašin had 27 Albanian villages with 732 households and 5 Serb villages with 75 households.[6]

Tourism
[edit]Kolašin is one of the centres of Montenegro's mountain tourism. Although Žabljak is considered more attractive destination, Kolašin has the advantage of being easily accessible by road and rail.
Kolašin is located on the foot of Bjelasica and Sinjajevina mountains, which offer great conditions for skiing. Because of Kolašin's altitude (954 m), the town is considered an air spa.
Biogradska Gora national park is in the town's vicinity, and is considered a premium tourist attraction. The development of Kolašin as a tourist destination is bolstered by opening of Bianca Resort & Spa, a luxury resort in town's center.
Transport
[edit]Kolašin is connected with rest of Montenegro by two-laned motorways. It is situated on the main road connecting Montenegro's coast and Podgorica with northern Montenegro and Serbia (E65, E80).
Kolašin is also a station on Belgrade–Bar railway.
Podgorica Airport is 80 km (50 mi) away, and has regular flights to major European destinations.
