Gošo Vikentiev, born Gorgji Dimitrovski Vikentiev (Macedonian: Ѓорѓи Димитровски Викентиев; 19 April 1920 – 17 October 1944) was a Macedonian military commander and freedom fighter in the People's Liberation Army of Macedonia during World War II. [1]
Vikentiev was born into a craftsman family. Having graduated elementary school in his hometown of Kočani, he attended the Institute of Military Technology in Kragujevac (Serbian: Војно-Технички Завод у Крагујевцу) between 1934 and 1939. In 1941, he joined the IV Macedonian Brigade as a fighter, an action that later aided him in joining the ranks within the League of Communists of Yugoslavia. In 1944, he was appointed to be the commander of the VI Battalion in the XIV Brigade of the People's Liberation Army of Macedonia.
Vikentiev was killed in action during the attack for the liberation of Kočani from the Axis Powers on 17 October 1944.[2]
The technical high school СОУ „Ѓошо Викентиев“ in Kočani was named after him on 5 December 1959 in honor of his liberation efforts. A street in Kočani also carries his name.
