Biography

[edit]

Živojin Balugdžić completed elementary and high school in Belgrade. He began his law studies in Belgrade and completed them in Geneva. He emigrated from Serbia in 1894 due to the article "Rušite dvor" (Tear Down the Palace) published in the newspaper Narodni prijatelj (Friend of the People), which he initiated with Naum Dimitrijević. He returned to Serbia after the May Coup in 1903, when he became secretary to Peter I Karađorđević and head of the press bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1906, he was a secretary at the Serbian Embassy in Constantinople.

Balugdžić was named Serbian Consul in Bitola, from 10 September 1907 to 9 May 1909, with headquarters at the Serbian Consulate in Skopje. As consul, he launched the Serbian newspaper Vardar in Skoplje in 1908. He tried to calm the conflict between the two consular and metropolitan currents.[3] At the head of the metropolitan current was the Skopje bishop Vikentij Skopski, who sought to completely take over the management of the revolutionary organization (VMRO), as well as the education system in Macedonia, from Serbian diplomacy.[4] Balugdžić was one of the most informed Serbs about the events in the conflict between the Young Turks and the Old Turks. He was often used as a source by Politika correspondent Branislav Nušić.[5] The metropolitan current was led by the Skopje bishop Vićentije Krdžić, who sought to completely take over the management of both the revolutionary organization and education in Macedonia from Serbian diplomacy.[6]

Between 1909 and 1912, Živojin Balugdžić was the consul in Thessaloniki. Later, he was an envoy in Athens, Rome, Berlin.

In 1935, Balugdžić retired and died in 1941[7][8].

His son Radul, who was the secretary at the embassy of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in Berlin, died in April 1923[9].
