Life

The holy hieromartyr Branko Mustura was a priest and a professor at the theological seminary at Cetinje, in Montenegro. He studied theology at Belgrade and was killed in 1945 in Slovenia, together with Metropolitan Joanikije Lipovac and other priests of the Metropolis of Montenegro and the Littoral. His commemoration belongs to the Synaxis of the Saints who taught and studied at the Theological School of Belgrade, whose celebration was ordered by Patriarch Porfirije in February 2024, pending the official decision.

The sources say only that he was a seminary professor at Cetinje and that he studied at the Faculty of Theology in Belgrade. He was one of the Montenegrin priests who suffered in Slovenia, near Kamnik, in 1945, together with the priest Luka Vukmanović. His file has not been preserved in the archives of the Metropolis.
