Bobovište (Montenegrin and Serbian Cyrillic: Бобовиште; Albanian: Boboshti) is a village in Bar Municipality, in southeastern Montenegro. It lies on the western bank of Lake Skadar, in a geographical region known as Skadarska Krajina. It is inhabited by ethnic Albanians.
History
[edit]Prior to the village population's conversion to Islam, they had used the nearby Orthodox Moračnik Monastery as their church.[1] In 1894, while Branislav Nušić travelled here, he noted that the village was Muslim.[2]
Demographics
[edit]As of 2003 the village had a population of 230.[3]
According to the 2011 census, its population was 180.[4] All of the inhabitants are Sunni Muslim and Albanian. The average age of the population is 43.1. A major fallout in the population has been due to young people emigrating to western countries such as USA, Switzerland and Australia etc. A large majority of people from Bobovište emigrated to especially USA. The Albanians of this village speak in the Gheg dialect of the Albanian language.
