"Commune" about Olympism in Montenegro

The new, 39th issue of Commune, a magazine for local self-government and nurturing the heritage of Montenegro, is entirely dedicated to Olympism in Montenegro, from its beginnings to the present day.

The magazine begins with the editorial "Trail of Angel's Licks" signed by Dušan Simonović, the first man of the Montenegrin Olympic Committee, who points out "that the COK is founded in the rich tradition of Montenegrin sports, proud of 27 Olympians from Montenegro who won under the flag of FNR, SFR and FR Yugoslavia Olympic medals, and that on May 21, 2006, after the restoration of state independence, COK found itself at the beginning of a new venture, which required dedication and expertise, extensive and complex work engagement."

"Commune" also brings the history of Olympism, about the Ancient Olympic Games up to the Olympic Games of the modern era, with a special emphasis that the Montenegrin Olympic story began in 1948 at the London Olympics, then under the flag of the FNR of Yugoslavia.

There is also a story about Dušan and Mirko Vujačić from Zeta, the first Montenegrin Olympians, then an interview with Đorđe Perišić, the oldest living Olympic medal winner from Montenegro, but also a story about Nikola Radović, the first Montenegrin footballer with an Olympic medal.

In "Commune" there are also stories about legends like Veselin Vujović, Rajko Žižić, Sofija Pekić, testimonies of Ljubomir Radanović and Igor Vušurović, while a special chapter, nature, deserves the heroes of our time.

Montenegrin handball players, the only ones with an Olympic medal in independent Montenegro, water polo players who were unfortunately stopped three times in the match for bronze, but also athlete Marija Vuković, tennis player Danka Kovinić, skier Ivana Bulatović, skier Eldar Zahilović, judoka Srđan Mrvaljević, skier Bojan Kosić, sailor Milivoj Dukić, our representatives of Paralympics Marijana Goranović and Filip Radović... they all got space in the new issue of "Komuna".
