Gavro Vuković

Gavro Vuković (Serbian Cyrillic: Гавро Вуковић; 1852, Lijeva Rijeka, Principality of Montenegro – 29 July 1928, Berane, Kingdom of SCS) also known as Vojvoda Gavro (Serbian Cyrillic: Војвода Гавро) was a jurist, senator of the Principality of Montenegro, a military commander, Yugoslav politician and writer.

He attended elementary school in the Serbian Orthodox monastery Đurđevi Stupovi (Berane), and in Cetinje.

After participating in the Montenegrin-Ottoman War (1876-1878), he undertook high diplomatic missions concerning the aftermath of Berlin Congress and therefore was named Montenegrin ambassador in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey).

Gavro became a minister of foreign affairs in the Principality of Montenegro in October 1899 and held that position until December 1905.

In the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes he was a member of the Montenegrin Federalist Party and again took the position of ambassador in Istanbul.
