“…The reduction in the already small number of live births are affected just unemployment, a very poor financial situation and social instability. On the other hand, the mortality rate has steadily increased due to inadequate health care, lack of medicines, poor diet, but also because of the increase in the proportion of the population over 60 years (Stojšin, 2004).…”

This paper analyzes population trends northeast of Montenegro in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century. The population has increased in the period 1948-2003 to 2.16%, but with a tendency to decline from 1981. The population in are period 1981-2003, decreased by 14,674, or 21.16 %. Parameters of natural population indicate a negative trend. So the natural increase in 2003 in the municipality was Andrijevica -4.6 ‰, in the municipality of Plav 4.21 ‰, and Berane 9.29 ‰, significantly lower than in the beginning of the seventies. Population migration indicates uneven density and population concentration. The existence of a large number of settlements up to 500 populations (81) is not suitable for modern flow to vital economic development of the region. KEYWORDS Northeastern Montenegro; Density of population; Natural change; Migration. Northeastern Montenegro covers an area of 1486 km² and the population census in 2003 there lived 54 658 inhabitants, or 36.8 in/ km². It covers three municipalities: Berane, Andrijevica and Plav. The paper provides a review and interpretation of the basic parameters of population trends northeastern of Montenegro in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century.Unlike the nineties of the last century, the population of the region during the seventies, moving out to a much lesser extent, we can explain the material well-being of the former Yugoslavia. Specifically, the seventies of the last century, many remained in my memory as a period when the well-earned and well-lived. In this regard, we should not be surprised that in most walks of socialism remained in my memory as the past is better than the present meager (Bolčić and Milić, 2002). But in the early eighties of the last century, Yugoslav economy began to show signs of crisis. In this regard, the fall in the population of northeastern region of Montenegro, at that time, it seems to us quite expected. In fact, many companies have started to noticeably reduce the workforce, and the process of job creation has slowed. It is also a time of mass migration of population from rural to urban areas, or temporary work abroad.Nineties of the last century, represent an extremely complex period in the social life of our population. In addition to long-term demographic factors on the development of the region seemed a series of major historical events. "The disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, the war in the region, the sanctions of the international community, the social and political changes, the deep economic crisis, military intervention, political developments, institutional crisis... Feeling, above all, economic and existential uncertainty, the basic characteristics of people's lives during this period that the individual and psychological NEW" (Tucović and Stevanović, 2007). The account should be taken of the consequences of transition in 2000, the most important being the increase of unemployment, poverty, increased mortality rates, shorter life expectancy.Migration of the population is ch...
