Vešović was born in village of Lopate in Montenegrin county of Lijeva Rijeka, in a family whose male members were traditionally military officers.

At the beginning of the First Balkan War he was commander of the group of Montenegrin brigades that captured Plav, Gusinje, Deçan and Gjakova from the Ottomans, which brought him the rank of General.

At the end of 1913 Vešović was appointed as the governor of Metohija (the supreme commander of the military and civil administration of Đakovica Divisional Area) where he became also known as the firm hand.

[7] After the beginning of the First World War and against the order of Montenegrin King Nikola, Vešović captured Scutari on 27 June 1915, despite opposition of Entante and behind the back of Serbian supreme command.

Vešović escaped after killing one Austro-Hungarian officer and joined Chetnik guerrilla rebel forces in the region of Northern Montenegro and Metohija.

[17] On 24 October Vešović reported that he took half of his army and went to disarm Krasniqe tribe who began to organize together with retreating forces from Gjakova.

[18] Since he was unable to disarm Krasniqi tribesmen who lived in about 800 houses, each with at least two Mauser guns, he did not dare to proceed further with advance leaving such potential great threat behind his flanks.

[19][7] Vešović participated in Montenegrin siege of Scutari where he was wounded twice,[20] showing an exceptional courage which earned him a golden Obilić Medal and nickname the knight of Brdanjolt (Serbian: витез од Брдањолта).

[5] At the end of 1913[21] Vešović appointed as governor of Metohija (supreme commander of military and civil administration of Đakovica Divisional Area)[5] known as firm hand.

[24] Against the order of Montenegrin King Nikola, Vešović captured Scutari on 27 June 1915, despite opposition of Entante and behind the back of Serbian supreme command and even his own chief of General Staff, Božidar Janković.

[30] The occupying authorities undertook punitive and preventive measures after this event, and took as hostages all male members of Vešovićs family and many of his notable friends, including Janko Vukotić.

[34] After he surrendered, Vešović followed the wishes of the governor of Montenegro and began a campaign to convince comitadji irregulars to stop their actions, which resulted in loss of what remained of his prestige.

[42] 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.
