Milatović: Pićurić was a master of acting, Montenegro has lost a true artist and noble man

With the passing of Momčilo Mom Pićurić, who passed away at the age of 79, Montenegro has lost a true artist and noble man, said President Jakov Milatović.

"I received with sadness the news of the passing of Momčilo Mom Pićurić, a prominent Montenegrin theater, film and television actor. His numerous acting achievements left a deep mark on the cultural life of Montenegro, and I will especially remember him for his recent role as Les in the film 'Alive and Well', in which, by combining humor and sadness, he once again showed that he is a true master of acting with the ability to reach the deepest layers of human nature with a reduced expression," Milatović wrote on Iks.

He says that Pićurić carried within himself a unique harmony of warmth, strength, and simplicity that made him beloved by both the audience and his colleagues.

"With his departure, Montenegro has lost a true artist and a noble man. On behalf of the citizens of Montenegro and on my own behalf, I extend my deepest condolences to the Pićurić family, friends, colleagues and all admirers of his work," Milatović wrote.
