Biography

Early life and education

Miomir Dašić was born to a wealthy peasant family (first of eight children) in the small village of Rovca, near Berane. He started elementary school in 1937 in Rovca, after which he attended Berane's gymnasium in 1941, just days before the Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia. Gymnasiums and all other educational institutions were de facto out of work during the period between 1941 and 1945; therefore, Dašić was able to continue his studies at the end of the war. He was awarded a baccalaureate in June 1949 after finishing gymnasium education. In 1954, he graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade with a bachelor's degree in history. That same year, he started working as a professor in Berane's gymnasium until 1960. After 6 years of working as a professor, he applied for post-graduate studies, also at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. He obtained his master's degree in history in 1961. Later, he received a doctorate degree from the Faculty of Philosophy with a thesis on "Montenegro and liberation movement in Gornje Polimlje from the start of 19th century until the Congress of Berlin".

The Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts awarded Dašić with a high scientific recognition in 1991, and he became a regular member of the academy in 1997.
