Momčilo Đujić
Momčilo Đujić (Momcilo Djujic or Djuic) (30 May 1896 - 11 October 1999) was the Serbian Chetniks commander, with the title of vojvoda (duke).
Đujić was born in the village Kovačić near Knin. His primary education was in Knin. Đujić started secondary school in Šibenik, but left school and went to the Serbian Orthodox seminary in Sremski Karlovci. Momčilo was ordained as a priest in 1933.
After the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, Momčilo, together with fellow Chetnik combatants disarmed a gendarmery station in Strmica. In the summer of 1941, Momčilo became head of the Chetnik detachment. In September (1941), he became commander of the "Petar Mrkonjić" regiment. In 1942, he became involved in the establishment of the Dinara Chetnik Division. In the name of the Division's HQ, he called on the Serbian population for a military uprising against the Ustaša government on February 15, 1942.
The Dinara Chetnik Division had been involved in military actions against Partisans in Croatia and against the Ustaše, and the German Nazis during the war. In December 1944, Đujić moved the Dinara Chetnik Division across Hrvatsko Primorje and Istria to Slovenia. He was captured by western allies in May 1945 near Soča. Đujić was arrested and imprisoned in the Ebola camp in Italy. Later on, he moved to America, and Canada, where he established the "Ravna Gora" Chetnik movement.
Momčilo Đujić was accused and sentenced in absentio for war crimes by the Communist government of Yugoslavia, but America's government never did send him back (mostly because of a lack of evidence.)
Đujić was regarded as the protector of Krajina Serbs by many Serbian nationalists. In 1989, Đujić granted the title voivoda (of the Chetniks), to Vojislav Šešelj (a leader of the Serbian Radical Party.)
Đujić died in 1999, in Chicago, at 103.
