Biography
editHis grave in Skopje
editKonstantin Minović was first educated in Bulgarian exarchate schools, because there were no others in Skopje, the gifted student became a Bulgarian teacher in Skopje in the eighties of the 19th century. However, as he sensed the Bulgarian Exarchy's intentions, he left the Bulgarian school at a young age and became an advocate of awakening the numb Serbian national consciousness in Skopje and its surroundings, stressing that the people must return to the old way, to what it was before the Bulgarian Exarchy - according to the belief of the Serbian nationality and not the faux one espoused by the schismatics. When the Serbs in the Kosovo vilayet got the right to open their own schools, Konstantin performed the duties of a teacher in many places, among others in Kučevište. During the Banner Affair in Skopje in 1896, when VMRO committees hung a flag with a death threat to the sultan Hamid II, Koča was sentenced to exile and 101 years of imprisonment in Bodrum by the intrigues of the Exarchial Metropolitan, but Serbian diplomatic representatives, namely Milan Rakić, managed to rescue him the following year. In 1899, he became a priest and held a parish first in the Church of the Ascension of Jesus the Holy Saviour in Skopje, then in Kočani and Nikodim, and before he was killed he served in the village of Kožlje near Skopje. Although aware that he is on the list for liquidation of VMRO, Koča did not leave his post as a priest. He was killed by VMRO committees on 14 November 1905.[1]
