Life

Pajović was born on 14 April 1934 in village Drenovštica in Nikšić municipality of Zeta Banovina in Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[1] His family was actively involved in the anti-fascist struggle in Montenegro and in the Yugoslav Communist Party, events which he considered important in his upbringing[2]

Pajović worked in Historical Institute of the Socialist Republic of Montenegro for 40 years.[3] Pajović has been praised for his objective writing about collaborationism in Montenegro without being affected in his research by his family's active involvement in the struggle against fascism.[2] In the 1990s, in the countries that emerged from the dissolution of Yugoslavia, a politically motivated, popular trend in historiography was the historical rehabilitation of WWII figures, who were pro-Nazi/Italian collaborators and were involved in massacres of civilians during the war. Pajović was one of the historians who refused to engage in historical revisionism in favor of the Chetniks who collaborated with the Axis, despite it being a popular political trend in the 1990s.[2] In the political struggles that followed, he actively opposed to any attempt to rehabilitate the Chetniks, including attempts to erect a monument in honor of Pavle Đurišić, a collaborator of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany who committed many massacres in the Sandzak region of Montenegro.[4] Internationally, Pajović has been acknowledged as the most prominent historian of WWII in Montenegro.[5]

Pajović belonged to a group of Montenegrin historians who consistently struggled for the independence of Montenegro and affirmation of idea about autochthonous Montenegrin ethnicity.[6] He also supported the creation of an autocephalous Montenegrin Orthodox Church.[7] In January 2019, Pajović accused Serbian nationalist circles for consistent dissemination of supposedly false information about endangered human rights of greater-Serbs in Montenegro.[7] He accused the same circles for historical revisionism against the anti-fascist struggle in Montenegro and its socialist legacy.[7] He died on 2 June 2019.[8]

Pajović had received the "13 July Award" and "19 December Award".[9] He was member of the Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts.[10]
