Boško Mitrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бошко Митровић, fl. 1903–15), known by the nom de guerre Virjanac (Вирјанац) or Virčanac (Вирчанац), was a Serbian Chetnik commander.

Early life

He was from Vir, in Poreče, at the time part of the Manastir Vilayet, Ottoman Empire (now Makedonski Brod, R. Macedonia).

Serbian Chetnik Organization

The Prilep group, led by Boško, descended into Prilep crossing Prisat and Pletvar on the Crna Reka.

His monthly pay by the Serbian government in 1909 was 60 dinars.[1] In 1911, it was 3 lira.[2]

Balkan Wars

In 1913 he participated in the suppression of the Ohrid-Debar uprising, a joint Bulgarian-Albanian uprising in Western Macedonia against the new Serbian government.[3]

First World War

During the First World War, he was part of Jovan Babunski's band. The band left Azot and entered the Klepe mountain region, where they were informed of a Bulgarian band that hid in a mill in Skačinci. Boško died during the attack.
