context_page_description: Radomir Vešović was Montenegrin and Yugoslav military officer and politician. Vešović was born in village of Lopate in Montenegrin county of Lijeva Rijeka, in a family whose male members were traditionally military officers. He completed military education in Italy in 1890 as the first member of Vasojevići tribe who received formal military education. In 1911 he was appointed as commander of Vasojević brigade, with rank of brigadier.
  At the beginning of the First Balkan War he was commander of the group of Montenegrin brigades that captured Plav, Gusinje, Dečani and Đakovica from the Ottomans, which brought him the rank of General. He continued his war engagement by participating in the Montenegrin siege of Scutari where he was wounded twice. He showed an exceptional courage which earned him a golden Obilić Medal.
  At the end of 1913 Vešović was appointed as the governor of Metohija where he became also known as the firm hand. In 1913 he was promoted to a commander of the Old-Serbian Detachment until he became the Montenegrin War minister in period 1913–1915.
context_section_description: Vešović was one of the most important Serb villains of Albanian poetry, besides Marko Miljanov and Savo Lazarević.
  Vešović was one of the main characters in a silent movie titled There Is No Resurrection Without Death (Serbian: Vaskrsenja ne biva bez smrti) which had its premiere on 14 April 1922 in Volturno, Rome.
  In July 1941, during the suppression of the Uprising in Montenegro, the leaders of Albanian irregulars inspired them to kill and plunder populated places in Vasojevići region, reminding them how Vešović plundered many Northern Albanian villages during his attack on Scutari in the First Balkan War.
  In 2001 RTCG produced a documentary drama Sudjenje djeneralu Vesovicu (transl. Trial to General Vešović) directed by Gojko Kastratović.
