Jovan Tomić

Jovan Tomić (9 May 1869 in Nova Varoš – 22 July 1932 in Belgrade) was Serbian historian and member of Serbian Academy of Science and Arts.

In his work 'Who is Djemo the Mountaineer' (Serbian: Ко је Ђемо Брђанин) Tomić claims that Djemo the Mountaineer was from region of Brda which is a territory modern-day Montenegro and Northern Albania.[1] He thought that Musa Kesedžija is based on the supporter of Jegen Osman Pasha while Jegen Pasha himself has been transformed into Djemo the Mountaineer (Serbian: Ђемо Брђанин) in Serbian epic poetry.[2]
