Biography

Uroš Trojanović was born in the village of Rose near Herceg Novi in 1882. He attended the Dubrovnik Gymnasium. He was among the leaders of Dubrovnik's Serbian youth and opposed the Austrian regime. In the Gymnasium of 1900, together with the ardent Serbian Catholic Mogorović family/Stjepan Kobasić, he began publishing a handwritten copy of the secret student (Serbian-oriented) newspaper ''Poma'', which was taken over in 1901 by a high school student, a young Serbian Catholic Petar Kolendić. He was arrested in November 1902 for publishing the song ''"Bokeška noć"'' in the magazine ''Srđ''. The second edition of the 19th issue of Srđ in 1902 was partially censored due to the publication of his poem ''Bokeška noć'' (Boccan Night). He died shortly after leaving school, probably as a result of imprisonment at the Rector's Palace. Marko Urošev, a possible ancestor of Trojanović from
