There is no such thing as Montenegro Albanians. Albanians there were Malsor and their lands were called Malsija until Montenegro occupied it.

Triesh is one of the seven Albanian tribes of Malësi e Madhe. Trieshi, as well as Hoti, derive from a single ancestor named Keq Preka. The tribe consists of over 300 houses within a ten village radius. The ten villages of Trieshi are to include: Rudinë, Nikmarashi, Muzheçku, Budzë, Poprat, Stjepoja, Bekaj, Delaj, Cemi i Trieshit, and Koritë. The people of Trieshi are called "Trieshjan" (referred to for males) and "Trieshjane" (for females). The Trieshjan's follow the Roman Catholic faith, along with the majority of Malësia. The Trieshjan's were never suppressed by the Ottomans and never paid any taxes to the Turks. The people of Trieshi have always managed to defend their lands from the Turkish suppressors. Along side the warriors, Trieshi also contributed several great singers like Nikollë Nikprelaj and Malësori. Today, most people of Trieshi have immigrated to the United States in search for a better living, but those who still live back home are inhabiting the town of Tuzi or the capital city of Podgorica, Montenegro.
Origin
Half the tribe of Trieshi derive from one ancestor named Ban Keqi. Ban was the youngest of Keqi's sons. Keqi had five sons named Lazdri (Hoti), Ban (Trieshi), Kraso (Krasniqi), Vaso (Vasojevići), and Pipri (Piperi). Hoti, Trieshi, and Krasniqi are the only surviving Albanian tribes, whereas Vasojevići and Piperi today are known to be Montenegrin tribes. Centuries ago, Vasojevići and Piperi were suppressed by the Serbs into embracing the Orthodox faith and eventually the Slavic tradition. Krasniqi was the only tribe from the five to mostly convert to Islam due to Ottoman suppression. Trieshi and Hoti are the only two tribes of all five to fully conserve their religion as well as their identity of remaining Albanian. The other half of Triesh said to have settled in Trieshi about 100 years before the arrival of Ban. They originally migrated from Kopliku, Albania. People under the ancestorship of Ban formed one clan, whereas the rest of the people from Trieshi formed another, together the two clans formed one big tribe called Triesh.
