Biography
[edit]Žujović was born on 5 June 1895 in Belgrade, Kingdom of Serbia.[2] He was attorney PhD and professor at Belgrade University.[3]
On 8 August 1938 a secret society Konspiracija, established to perform coup d etat and overthrow regime of Prince Pavle with support of United Kingdom[4] had their first meeting presided by Slobodan Jovanović[5] in a house of Žujović.[6] Dragiša Vasić, Milan Žujović and Milan Nikolić were members of the Executive Council of the Conspiracy.[7]
Together with Dragiša Vasić, Žujović created a plan to establish Central National Committee of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (CNK).[8] Žujović went to Belgrade to select candidates for membership of CNK. Eventually he recruited a number of people while he personally was a member of the CNK.[9]
Since May 1943 he moved to Split.[10] At the end of June 1943, Italians arrested Žujović in action against Chetniks coordinated with Germans who arrested Pavle Đurišić earlier.[11] After he was appointed as a delegate of Draža Mihailović for Dalmatia, Lika and Western Bosnia and Herzegovina with rank of Lieutenant Colonel.[12][13][14]
When Italian forces surrendered to communist forces in Dalmatia in the autumn of 1943 Žujović fled to Italy and then to Cairo.[15] He was sentenced to death in absentia during the trial against Draza Mihailovic and his accomplices. Žujović died in Paris, France, 1969.
Thanks to Teodora Žujović the manuscripts of Mladen Žujović that he took with him as a refugee were published.[16]
