Life and work

Sima Milutinović was born in Sarajevo, Ottoman Empire in 1791, hence his nickname Sarajlija (The Sarajevan). His father Milutin[4] was from the village of Rožanstvo near Užice,[5] which he left running away from the plague and eventually settled in Sarajevo, where he was married.[6]

When Sarajlija was a child, the family fled the town seeking because of a plague. They sought refuge at several locations in Bosnia and Slavonski Brod before ending up in Zemun, where Sima commenced primary education which he never completed. He attended a school in Szeged and was later expelled from gymnasium in Sremski Karlovci.[7]

During the

University of Leipzig, though he did not tarry there. Instead, a year later, he went back to Serbia to be a clerk in the employ of Prince Miloš but on arriving in Zemun, however, he turned about and went to Trieste, Kotor, and then Cetinje
.

He arrived in

Kuće, two neighboring tribes, and his former pupil Petar II Petrović-Njegoš sent Sarajlija and Mojsije to negotiate peace among them.[11]
Sarajlija remained in Cetinje for more than three years, until the spring of 1831. He came to Montenegro for another three times.

In 1836, he escorted Prince Miloš to Constantinople and went on to travel to Prague, Vienna and Budapest. He remained a while in Budapest and married Marija Popović-Punktatorka[12] (1810–1875), who was also a poet.

He died suddenly in Belgrade at the end of 1847. He was buried in the graveyard at St. Mark's Church.
