Some Bajraktarević families from Montenegro and Bajraktari from Albania originate from Turkish clan Bayraktar that remained after the collapse of Ottoman Empire and due to local pressure localized their last name by adding vić in Montenegrin proper and i in Albanian proper. There are many Turkish families with similar situations e.g. Mehmedović and Mehmedi are from the same Turkish clan that remained in current Montenegro and Albania.
