Thank you. Very interesting and Google did a fairly good job at translating, as these things go.
 I enjoyed reading it.

Meanwhile,here is a portrait of Princess Natalia of Montenegro's grandfather Aleksandar Opujic(1825-1888) from Trieste:

Here are also portraits of Natalia's mother Mileva and grandmother Marija who belonged to one of the richest Serbian families in Dubrovnik:

As she lived abroad almost all her life, her body was transported from Venice where she died to port in Kotor (first picture). She was buried in Cipur church in Cetinje (second picture is from the funeral), which is also Petrovich-Njegosh crypt next to the Cetinje monastery, alongside her mother and father.

It is interesting that she died just one month before her first cousin Elena married future King Vittorio Emanuele III. As a "landless" Princess, who was, due to intrigues of her mother, banished early from Montenegro by he cousin Nicholas, Olga's chances of getting "properly" married were very slim, so she never got married.

I saw an interesting claim about Princess Olga of Montenegro(1859-1896),daughter of Prince Danilo I of Montenegro...

It is said that she was married(and left issue) in La Valletta(1875) to George Mallia Tabone(1855-1943),son of Odoardo Mallia Tabone and Giovanna Fontani dei Conti di Senia...his father Odoardo Mallia Tabone(1821-1894) in turn was a son of Odoardo Mallia Tabone(2nd marriage) with Stefana dei Conti Fournier...and this Odoardo Mallia Tabone was son of first marquis Salvatore Mallia Tabone who got this title from Grand Master of Malta-Emmanuel de Rohan-Polduc...

Anyone heard something about this fact or this family?

I found it in Maltese Genealogy for Mallia Tabone family:
