During the Morean War, Bujović took command of the forces of Perast, offering their services, in his own name and that of the people of the city, to the Republic of Venice, with whom he was deeply connected.
The Venetians rewarded him well, enabling him to keep living in luxury; he built a palace and maintained a personal guard.
Bujović provoked a quarrel with the Zmajević family, prominent locally, when he fled to Dubrovnik with the daughter of an Ottoman agha and had a child with her out of wedlock, who had been committed to the care of Krsto Zmajević; he spent several years in that town before returning to Perast.
On May 6, 1709, Vicko was provoked into and killed in a street fight by a member of the Stukanović family.
For his involvement in the fight, Matija Zmajević was forced to leave Perast, eventually taking up service with the Russian Empire.
