Vuksanović also held the position of the Minister of the Internal Affairs.

Early life and pre-WWII period

Vuksanović was born in village Prisoja in Andrijevica municipality in Montenegro. After he completed Gymnasium in Belgrade he graduated at the Belgrade Law School.[2] In 1909 he participated in Kolašin Affair for which he was put on trial and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Vuksanović managed to escape from prison join Serbian army where he received the rank of sergeant.[3] He fought in the Macedonian Front in period 1915—18. In period 1929—33 he lived in Peć as a lawyer. In 1933 Vuksanović was appointed as Government agriculture commissioner in Skopje.[4]

During the WWII

Vuksanović was leader of Whites.[5]

Vuksanović considered Pavle Đurišić as his enemy.[6]

After capitulation of Italy, Montenegro was swiftly occupied by Germany. The commander of German troops appointed Vuksanović as chairman of the National Administrative Council (Serbian: Народна управа, German: Nationaler Verwaltungsausschuss) and also Minister of the Internal Affairs. This council was established by Germany in October 1943 in German occupied territory of Montenegro[7] and officially appointed on 10 November 1943.[8]

Vuksanović supported the idea to establish Montenegrin-Serbian Federation in order to "create solid foundations for prosperous future of Serbs".[9]

Vuksanović was member of delegation which negotiated with Albanian anticommunist forces the retreat of Montenegrin people and Montenegrin forces through Albania toward Greece because of the invasion of communist forces into Montenegro.[10]

From some reason, Vuksanović fled from Montenegro with German forces in Autumn 1944. He reached Austrian Carinthia with a group of his fellow countrymen and died when a train in which he was travelling was bombed by air force of Allies.[11]
