Well according to some book with populations of Europe,red hair was very present in old montenegrins,were almost 50% of the males had red hair beards.Montenegrins were living at mountains,were sun exposure is less.I think also in Romania in Balkans there is a good percentage of males having red threads of hair or reddish nuance in their beards.
Sorry the original theapricity is down now from lack of funding but I found that book here also:

"The Montenegrins are prevailingly dark brown in head hair color; in Old Montenegro some 45 per cent of adult males belong to this class, while 20 per cent are medium brown, and 26 per cent auburn, or brown with a perceptible reddish tinge. The tribesmen of Brda and the northern border are somewhat darker, and show less rufosity. The beards are much lighter than the head hair; among Old Montenegrins 43 per cent are reddish brown, and 8 per cent contain a pure red element; only 17 per cent are dark brown. In Brda golden-brown beards are extremely common, as frequent as 39 per cent; in the northern border tribes, 24 per cent. The rufosity of the Montenegrins, and their tendency to golden blondism, is not only extreme, but is particularly unusual for this part of Europe. It will be recalled that the Serbians, traditionally close relatives of the Montenegrins, are much darker haired, and that the Slavs in general, when blond, favor the ash-blond side of the scale, being almost entirely deficient in rufosity. "
From history is known that celts were also present on current day teritory of Romania and in Balkans,now is possible that some group of celts moved to mountains of Montenegro and gave a lot of genetics from current day montenegrins?
Is a very weird thing,that in Balkans folklore dragons are seen as positive creatures and this could be a link to celtic folklore in which the dragon is also a positive creature.
Besides,the folk costumes in Montenegro and folk dances are different from Serbia and are weird,to me they resemble some celtic influence.
