Toma Vučić Perišić

Serbian politician

Prince[1] Toma Vučić Perišić (Serbian Cyrillic: Тома Вучић Перишић; 1787 – 13 July 1859) was a Serbian politician, military leader during the Serbian Revolution, Freemason and one of the most powerful and influential individuals in Serbia of the 19th century.[2] He was Miloš Obrenović's most virulent opponent, and an ally of the Karađorđević Dynasty[3][4][5][6] with Avram Petronijević and Ilija Garašanin and other so-called Constitutionalists (Dimitrije Davidović, Aleksa Simić, Stojan Simić, Milutin Savić).[7] He wanted to bring rule of law and an effective administrative system in the Principality of Serbia, if only foreign interference was not an issue.[8] Eventually, in the political tug-of-war, the constitutionalists period came to an abrupt end with the former absolute ruler reclaiming the throne.[9]
