The 100 most prominent Serbs (Serbian: 100 најзнаменитијих Срба, romanized: 100 najznamenitijih Srba) is a book containing the biographies of the hundred most important Serbs[2] as compiled by a committee of academicians at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The committee members were Sava Vuković, Pavle Ivić, Dragoslav Srejović, Dejan Medaković, Dragomir Vitorović, Zvonimir Kostić, Vasilije Krestić, Miroslav Pantić and Danica Petrović. The book was published for the first time in 1993 on 20+617 pages, reprinted in 2001 and the third extended edition was printed in 2009 and 2013.[3][2]
With the efforts of the president of the editorial board of the book Dejan Medaković, Milan Nedić was also included in the list,[4] because he claimed that Nedić's government saved his family. The editorial board had problems with the inclusion of Nedić and Draža Mihailović since Nedić heavily collaborated with the Axis powers during World War II and Mihailović collaborated with Nedić.[5][6] Ultimately Mihailović was not included in the final list.[7][8]
