He is an author of books on the Jasenovac concentration camp, including "Radni logor Jasenovac" ("Jasenovac Labour Camp"), which advances his thesis that Jasenovac was simply a labour camp, rather than an extermination camp as accepted by all serious scholars. He does not have a degree in history. Career. Vukić worked as a journalist in newspapers: "Vjesnik" (1990–1991), "Novi list" (1994–2001), "Jutarnji list" (2001–2005), "Poslovni dnevnik" (2005–2009) and "Privredni vjesnik" (2009–2016).

On 30 May 2018, Vukić was invited as a guest on the Good afternoon, Croatia" programme on the state owned broadcaster HRT where he stated among other things, that the extermination camp Jasenovac had served as a labour camp or a prison for active opponents of the state and for Jews excluded from deportation to Germany, and described Ustasha leader Ante Pavelic as the most responsible person for rescuing camp inmates. The public institution running the Jasenovac memorial complex (JUSP) condemned Vukić's views and criticized the station for giving him a platform. Vukić's  appearance was also condemned by members of the Jewish community in Croatia who were "insulted, shocked, and disturbed" by the ideas and views expressed in the program. Vukić reportedly received a grant of 50000 HRK in 2018 for his project that denies the Ustashe crimes in the Jasenovac extermination camp. The project is entitled "Društvo za istraživanje trostrukog logora Jasenovac" (Society for research of the triple camp of Jasenovac), and Vukić is its secretary, with Stjepan Razum being its president.
