context_page_description: Miloš S. Milojević was a Serbian lawyer, writer, historian, and politician. His work has been described as "at a ridge between history and literature", mostly for his travel-recording genre.
context_section_description: In 1887 his approach to historiography was challenged and debated by Ilarion Ruvarac and Ljubomir Kovačević and eventually proved “erroneous” through “critical methods”, though not all of his scholarship was marred by their victory. His reputation as a scholar as well as his studies has been somewhat vindicated in modern times, in light of new and/or previously disregarded evidence. He travelled to the Kosovo and Metohija region from 1871 to 1877 and left three volumes of data and maps which testify that Serbs were the majority and Albanians the minority population.His demographic-statistical structure matched an independent census taken by the Austrian authorities at about the same time.Because of his ideas about Greater Serbia and Serbisation, he is also known as “Mad Miloš” in Bulgaria.  The map included not only today Bulgaria, but also present-day Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and Northern Greece.
