Miloš Vukanović

Miloš Vukanović is a prominent historian and academician known for his expertise in the history of World War II in the Balkans. He has been vocal about the implications of historical revisionism in contemporary politics, particularly concerning figures associated with wartime atrocities. Recently, he made headlines for strongly criticizing the statements made by the Metropolitan of Montenegro-Primorje, Joanikije, who referred to Pavle Đurišić, a controversial figure from WWII, as a 'great hero.' Vukanović argues that such remarks are not merely revisionist but serve a political purpose, aiming to deepen societal divisions in Montenegro. His views emphasize the importance of acknowledging historical facts and the dangers of glorifying figures with a legacy of ethnic cleansing and collaboration with occupying forces.
