Đurađ Crnojević was the last lord of Zeta from the Crnojević family, ruling from 1490. He set up at Cetinje one of the earliest presses in the Balkans, which printed the Cyrillic Oktoih in 1494. Under Ottoman pressure he fled to Venice in 1496, and Zeta was absorbed into the Ottoman sanjak of Scutari.
