Biography[edit]
Milojko Veselinović was born on 5 August 1850 in the village of Jasenje near Deligrad. When he turned fifteen, Lajos Kossuth's mother took him to St. Roman Monastery to prepare for a monk's vocation. Soon, a gymnasium was opened in Aleksinac and all primary school students in the district, as well as monastery students, were enrolled in this institution, and the untried monk Veselinović among them. Although he started grammar school in Aleksinac, he finished high school in Belgrade, where he got acquainted with national and educational work of Kosta Šumenković and Miloš Milojević in Old Serbia and Macedonia.
Delighted by the scholarship of Šumenković and Milojević, he went to Vranje, which was still part of Ottoman Empire as a teacher. [2] After returning to Belgrade enrolled at the Faculty of Philosophy, but his education was interrupted by the Serbian Turkish War in 1876. In this war, he was the commander of a scouting regiment of the Kopaonik Battalion and then fought alongside the Miloš Milojević Volunteer Company in Raška, and in Moravian-Dobrich volunteers at Rogozna. [3] He also participated in the war of 1877-1878. years.
He began publishing his works as a student. In 1886, he founded the newspaper Srpstvo, [4], in which he gathered all-important authors in Serbia at that time. In the same year, he participated in the founding of Society of St. Sava in which he was a member of the Main Board, and later the manager of the social boarding house and St. Sava evening college. He was an active author in a magazine of the Society called Bratstvo (Brotherhood).
Milojko Veselinovic was sent to the diplomatic service in Turkey. He was appointed clerk in the Serbian consulate in Priština in 1889 where he made an ethnological study of the region, including Old Serbia and Macedonia. [5] Ten years later, the Commission of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs decided to submit Veselinović's manuscript to the Turkish censors and it was printed after approval on 18 May 1899. Stojan Novaković was satisfied with the recognition because it suppressed Bulgarian national propaganda and fuelled Macedonian national pride instead[6]Veselinović became an official in the Constantinople embassy, then Serbian consul in Bitola, and finally ended his diplomatic career as a consul in Skopje in 1903.
Milojko died after a three-year illness in Sveti Roman Monastery on 12 February 1913. [7] He was buried in the Jasenjski cemetery, next to Krvavi vis in Deligrad.
