  • Comment: It is possible there is notability here, given the events around his killing and aftermath. However it is not possible to ascertain this since the sourcing / referencing makes the task nearly impossible. There is a corrupted cite journal link, for example. So a little more work is needed, and it will be all about getting multiple reliable sources lined up to demonstrate notability. See WP:REFB ChrysGalley (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Atanasije Petrović Taško (Serbian Cyrillic: Атанасије Петровић Ташко; Kruševo, 11 May 1866 — Kumanovo, 15 January 1905) was a Serbian priest and vicar of the Metropolitanate of Skopje in Kumanovo at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Taško's death precipitated the Struggle for Macedonia between Serbia and Bulgaria and beyond until Second World War..[1]

Atanasije Petrović Taško was an Aromanian (also referred to as Cincar) from Kruševo, who moved to the city of Kumanovo for his trade, being a tailor. In Kumanovo, he decided to study for the priesthood at a seminary, and at the same time, he married the daughter of a local merchant. Around 1895, he became a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church.[2]

Being on the side of the Serbs, Taško was under threat by the Bulgarian terrorist organization, the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, better known by the acronym VMRO, whose aim was to make neighbouring Macedonian territories a part of Greater Bulgaria. When the Serbian Chetnik Organization was founded, Father Taško became the leader of the Kumanovo committee, a branch of the Serbian Chetnik Organization. VMRO terrorists made good their threat by killing him in Kumanovo on 15 January 1905.[3][4][5] To avenge the murder of Atanasije Petrović Taško, members of the Serbian revolutionary organization from Kumanovo killed the Exarchic priest Alexander,[6] in reprisal exactly on the fortieth day after the death of Taško, at a time when the memorial service was held for him [7]

It was the beginning of tit for tat warfare that would continue for decades, between two kingdoms, Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia up until World War II.
