On Friday, Danilo Miljanić, the oldest communist in Montenegro, participant in the National Liberation Struggle (NOB), graduated in economics, died in Nikšić.
MILjanić was born in 1920 in the village of Muzevice, Banjani, near Nikšić. He was born in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and spent his childhood in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, where he graduated from the NCO School in Bileća. He experienced military life and warfare in the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, built the country in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, worked and raised a family in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ), where he retired, and spent his retirement days first in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then in Serbia and Montenegro and in Montenegro.
"I had the best time in SFRY. It was difficult after the war, everything was demolished, but already from 1955, life was good. And that's only because of one - we were all friends and wherever I went I was on my own," Uncle Danilo told "Vijesti" four years ago.
Then, as he said at the time, the gentlemen who came from the ranks of the communists came, and "the devil took everything under his control".
He became a member of the Communist Party in 1945 and never regretted it. After the war, he worked on the road Velimlje - Jasen and Nikšić - Titograd, followed by jobs at the Brskovo mine, the company Gornja Zeta, where he was the financial director, Elektroprivreda, Kombinat aluminijuma, where he was an adviser on economic issues. They offered him the position of financial director of HE "Mratinje", but he did not like the place where they were located, so he did not accept.
He graduated in economics from the University of Economics in Zagreb, taught bookkeeping for a year at the Secondary School of Economics and for several years at the Workers' University for Adults in Nikšić. He retired in 1985 and continued to work. But, as he said then, exclusively on a voluntary basis. He formed the Farmer's Work Cooperative in Velimlje, helped his son who opened a store for ten years, and was a director in the Knjižare company in Nikšić.
"I have 56 years of service, but everything after 1985 was based on volunteerism. I don't know how I made it this many years. None of my close ones have passed 90", these are the words of a man who received a medal for bravery for his achievements in the NOB, and for his work in economic organizations he was awarded the medal of work and the medal of merit for the people.
He published several professional works in the field of economics, as well as the books "Miljanići - a branch of Nastić", "Miljanići through the ages", "Huževice in the past", "Stories and anecdotes", "Banjani until the Brlin congress and the first population census" and "My hundred years". He also participated in the formation of the Miljanić Association.
He married his wife Stojanka, who is a native of Agramović from Štedi, in 1948. They gave birth to four children - three daughters and a son (the oldest daughter died in the second year).
The funeral of Danilo Miljanić will be held on Sunday at 14 pm, at the city cemetery in Nikšić.
