Miloš Ković (Serbian: Милош Ковић; born 13 May 1969) is a Serbian historian and university professor at Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade.^[1]

Biography

Ković spent one year of his postgraduate studies at University of Oxford. In 2015 Ković won the Ilarion Ruvarac award of the Matica Srpska.^[2]

Aside from his work at University of Belgrade, Ković taught at University of Banja Luka and a number of societies and organisation in Serbia and the region.

During the trial of Ratko Mladić, Ković appeared as witness of defence at the ICTY. According to Ković, ICTY's main task is not to condemn criminals, but to "rewrite Serbian history" and "to imprint a mark of collective guilt on Serbs."^[3]

Areas of his research are International Relations (late 18th to early 20th century) and History of Political Ideas (late 18th to early 20th century).

Views

In March 2022, Ković was returned from the border by the Bosnian authorities on his way to a lecture in East Sarajevo, based on the assessment that he was a "threat to the security of BiH."^[4] Soume sources have claimed that Ković advocates strengthening of the Russian and Chinese influence in the Balkans and promotes anti-Western and anti-NATO rhetoric.^[5]

In April 2022, Ković signed a petition calling for Serbia not to impose sanctions on Russia after it invaded Ukraine.^[6]
