Blažo Đukanović

Blažo Đukanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Блажо Ђукановић; 26 November 1883 – 21 October 1943) was a Montenegrin Serb Chetnik brigadier general and political leader in the Italian governorate of Montenegro.

As the leader of the Montenegrin Chetniks, on 24 July 1942 he signed a deal with the Italian army represented by General Pirzio Biroli whereby he became the head of the Central Nationalist Committee (CNC), which also included Zelenaši forces.

This post made him de facto leader of Montenegro and he held it until 19 October 1943, near the date of his death.
