“The July 13 Uprising is an unrepeatable historical
rise of the Montenegrins” (Veljko Milatović, “Pobjeda”, July 13, 2002).
After the decision of the Provincial Organization
of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in Montenegro, which was made in Stijena
Piperska, a nationwide uprising broke out in Montenegro as an act of resistance
and rebellion against fascism. It was the first mass uprising that encouraged
other Yugoslav and European peoples to fight with the spirit of freedom. The
famous French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described it as a magnificent event
in the European history of the 20th century and said that he
directed humanity on the path it should take.
This unique event in occupied Europe
belongs to all the peoples of Montenegro. All historical and ethical values of
civilization are woven into it: freedom, dignity, heroism and disobedience, as
well as the achievements of the glorious Montenegrin wars and struggles for
liberation.
The history of the people’s liberation
struggle and the history of Montenegro preserve the memory of the great deeds
and feats of brave members of the partisan movement as a pledge to future
generations.
In honor of the
80th anniversary of the 13 July Uprising, the National Library
“Đurđe Crnojević” prepared a video projection to remind us of the names of 244
national heroes from Montenegro who “loved freedom more than life”.

media pages of the Library:
