==History==

===Ottoman period===
Piva was a ''nahiya'' of the [[Ottoman Empire]], mentioned in the 1476–78 ''[[defter]]''.{{sfn|Blagojević|1971|pp=609–610}} It was earlier mentioned in the ''[[Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja]]'' (c. 1300–10<ref>{{cite book|last1=Živković|first1=T.|last2=Kunčer|first2=D.|title=Gesta regum Sclavorum, I–II|year=2009|pages=362–365}}</ref>) as one of ten counties in the province of Podgorje,{{sfn|Blagojević|1971|p=11}} and in the [[St. Stephen Chrysobull]] of Serbian king [[Stefan Milutin]] (r. 1282–1321).{{sfn|Blagojević|1971|p=377}} It was part of [[Sanjak of Herzegovina]] during Ottoman rule.

The [[Serbian Orthodox]] [[Piva Monastery]] has stood in Piva since the 16th century. It has produced four Patriarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

===Modern===
Under Prince [[Nicholas I of Montenegro]] and the [[Congress of Berlin]] recognition, in 1878 the Piva together with the Serb Herzegovinian tribes of [[Banjani]], [[Nikšići (tribe)|Nikšići]], [[Šaranci]], [[Drobnjaci]] and a large number of the [[Rudinjani]] formed the Old Herzegovina region of the new Montenegrin state.<ref name="Banac1988">{{cite book|author=Ivo Banac|title=The National Question in Yugoslavia: Origins, History, Politics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KfqbujXqQBkC|date=2 February 1988|publisher=Cornell University Press|isbn=0-8014-9493-1}}</ref>{{page needed|date=May 2016}}

During the [[Second World War]], people of the region fought in both the Serbian royalist [[Chetnik]] and communist [[Yugoslav Partisans|Partisan]] [[resistance movements]], which fought against each other.

The tribe has since the arrest of [[Radovan Karadžić]], the wartime [[Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnian Serb]] president and member of the neighbourly Drobnjak tribe of Petnjica (from which the Serbian language reformer [[Vuk Karadžić]] also descends), petitioned for Tadić's excommunication from the tribe because of Karadžić's arrest. The arrest is seen as directly bad behavior against the Serbian people and from the Piva against the [[Drobnjaci|Drobnjak]] tribe, who had never before had any problems, and it is because of this Tadić's actions have been condemned.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glas-javnosti.rs/clanak/svet/glas-javnosti-28-07-2008/dan-pivljani-hoce-da-se-odreknu-borisa-tadica|title=Najnovije vesti Glas javnosti |date=28 July 2008 |website=Glas Javnosti}}</ref>
