This paper analyzes the key political ideas of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, which so far have been insufficiently studied. Njegoš's political thought is analyzed in the context of his time and historical circumstances when the oppressed Serbian people were trying to achieve freedom through armed struggle. As the main obstacles on the way to freedom Njegoš points out the mass betrayal and lack of cohesion among the Serbs. As the crucial instruments of liberation from Turkish rule he sees the specific Serbian culture of martyrdom, their rich tradition of fighting conquerors, as well as their susceptibility to a cult of heroism with its powerful mobilizing potential. Among other noteworthy political ideas are Njegoš's esoteric idea about political-hierarchical structure of heaven, the emphasis on the modernization of Montenegro for the sake of renewing its statehood and his position on yugoslavism.
