Montenegrin physician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divna Veković (or Vékovitch) (1886–1944) was the first female medical doctor in Montenegro. She was born in Lužac, a village in the municipality of Berane.[1] She completed her medical degree at the Sorbonne in 1907. [2] She was a physician at the Salonika front during World War I.[3] Veković was also a humanitarian and a literary translator. She was the first to translate The Mountain Wreath (Gorski Viyénatz) from the Serbian language into the French language (Les lauriers de la montagne). The work is a well-known epic poem in Montenegrin literature written by Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. Veković also translated other poems such as that of the Serbian poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj.
