Besac A story about beauty

A story about beauty

One story from the beginning of the 20th century contains: one king, one letter, one election for Miss World and one beauty. Guess where she was from?

At the beginning of 1907, Prince Nikola received a letter from London requesting that Montenegrin representatives be sent for the competition of the most beautiful women in the world. One of the elected was Milena Delibašić Leković from the village of Godinje, not far from Virpazar.

At the beginning, her father strongly opposed sending his daughter to the “white world”, but in the end, due to the prince’s insistence, he had to relent.

At the competition itself, Milena was very noticed. She received numerous offers to stay and further engagement. She was even offered marriage by a rich man. However, she returned to her country and married a boy from her village. When Prince Nikola asked why she did not get married in London, she said that the prince did not send her there to get married, but to show Montenegrin beauty.

Thanks to Milena and her appearance, at one point the whole world knew about Godinje and the beauty that matures in him.
