Cetinje Armistice and Šćepan's Rejection
- When
- 3 October 1767
- Where
- Cetinje
Chiefs meeting at Cetinje on 3 October 1767 agreed a temporary armistice; Šćepan demanded perpetual peace instead.
In response to the proclamation, a gathering of Montenegrin chiefs and lords met at Cetinje, Montenegro's capital, on 3 October 1767, and agreed to stop all feuds between the clans, but only until 23 April the next year (Saint George's Day). Šćepan considered this armistice unacceptable, tore up the nobles' message, stamped on it, and demanded they instead swear to uphold peace in perpetuity. His display of royal displeasure convinced the people of Montenegro even more that he was Peter.
