Kriči

The Kriči (Serbian Cyrillic: Кричи, Albanian: Kriçi)[a] were an Albanian tribe that inhabited the region around the Tara river, roughly corresponding to the modern region of Mojkovac. Under similar names, the Kriči have been periodically mentioned in historical sources, geographical and ethnological literature. As other pre-Slavic tribes in the region, they eventually assimilated into the Serb ethnos. Some toponyms in Montenegro and surnames are derived from the name of this tribe.
