The Whites (Serbian: Бјелаши/Bjelaši) was the name given to pan-Serbian (and Yugoslavist) activists in Montenegro during and after the Podgorica Assembly (November 1918) in which the Montenegrin people voted on the fate of Kingdom of Montenegro as either part of a confederation (retaining independence) or unification (annexation) with the Kingdom of Serbia. Their name derived from the "White List" as opposed to the "Green List", from where the Greens took their name. The Assembly ended with overwhelming support for unification. The movement was led by Marko Daković (1880–1941). The two sides clashed in the short-lived Christmas Uprising (1919).

One of the leaders of Whites was Ljubomir Vuksanović.[1]
