Сретен Вукосављевић у борби за национално ослобођење од Турака
Sreten Vukosavljević Fighting for National Liberation from Turks

Summary/Abstract: Sreten Vukosavljević, a prominent scientist, the founder of sociology of village in Yugoslavia, university professor, fighter against fascism and activist for building a democratic Yugoslavia, early in his career as a teacher, especially after his return from Timočka Krajina to a primary school in Nova Varoš in 1904, proved himself as a true champion of national liberation of his people from the centurieslong Ottoman rule. In April 1912 he became a member of the organization Unification or Death, and soon its leader in Stara Raška. In his struggle he was not reluctant to apply the most radical measures. In spring 1912 he formed a Komita company and took command of it. He crossed the River Lim with that company on 13th September to pursue a Turkish company across Kamena Gora. He got wounded in that battle, but after a short treatment at Ivanjica hospital, he rejoined the fighting. The First Balkan War had already officially begun and he demonstrated remarkable military skills, intelligence and courage in the war. His action during the seizure of Priboj belongs almost to the domain of fantasy.
