Prokopije Čokorilo
Prokopije Čokorilo (born ''Procopius Tchokorilo''; 1802–1866) was a Serbian Orthodox priest from Bosnia and Herzegovina who wrote several works in Serbian, Russian and Greek, his most well-known work being ''The Chronicles of Herzegovina''. Early life Petar Čokorilo was born in 1802 in Plana, Bileća, then part of the Sanjak of Herzegovina, Ottoman Empire (now Bosnia and Herzegovina). After graduating from a seminary he chose to become a monk, thus changing his first name to Prokopije. His ancestral name, however, is Milićević, though in the eighteenth century it was fashionable to call people's last name from the area where they came from. Hence, the Milićević name changed in time to Čokorilo, named after a valley called Čokorilovom Dolu in Prodoli, Herzegovina, where the family once lived and worked.

Serbian Orthodox Priest
The Serbian Orthodox Church ( sr-Cyrl, Српска православна црква, Srpska pravoslavna crkva) is one of the autocephalous (ecclesiastically independent) Eastern Orthodox Christian churches. The majority of the population in Serbia, Montenegro and the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina are members of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Nićifor Dučić
Archimandrite Nićifor Dučić ( sr-cyr, Нићифор Дучић; 1832–1900), was a Bosnian Serb theologian, historian, philologist, archimandrite, writer and academic. As Archimandrite of Herzegovina Nićifor Dučić founded the Orthodox Seminarium in Cetinje in 1863. In 1880 Dučić was appointed as the head of the National Museum of Serbia, and since 1883 as a Director of National Library of Serbia. Dučić's monographs about monasteries ( Tvrdoš, Žitomislić, Morača, Ostrog) have not lost the cultural-historical value since science must further take some studies into consideration: ''Christmas in Montenegro'' (1867); '' Boka and Zeta'' (1875); ''Slav Manuscripts in the National Library in Paris'' (1889). Biography Nićifor Dučić was born in the village of Velji Lug, near Trebinje in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1832.
