Dušan T. Bataković (; born April 23, 1957 in Belgrade) is a Serbian historian and diplomat. His specialty is modern and contemporary Serbian and Balkan history. He holds the post of Director of the Institute for Balkan Studies at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. ==Biography== Bataković graduated with a degree in history from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy in 1982. He holds an M.A. in history from the same institution (1988). He received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Paris IV: Paris-Sorbonne in 1997 with the thesis ''La France et la formation de la démocratie parlementaire en Serbie 1830-1914'' (France and the Formation of Parliamentary Democracy in Serbia, 1830-1914). Bataković is a specialist for nineteenth- and twentieth-century Balkan history, as well as for the French-Serbian relations. He has written and published extensively on the modern and contemporary history of Serbia, in particular Kosovo and Albania–Serbia relations, focusing on nationalism, and the origins of religious and ethnic strife. Another area of his research is the impact of communism on the contemporary history of Serbia, Yugoslavia and the Balkans. Bataković writes in Serbian, English and French and his bibliography includes dozens of historical monographs, edited volumes and more than a hundred articles published in various languages. Bataković is also the author of the historical TV documentary ''Crveno doba'' (The Red Epoch), which aired on Serbia's public broadcaster, RTS, in 2004. Combining testimonies of witnesses with historic narrative the film was the first to open the question of the crimes of the communist Yugoslav authorities (the "red terror") against their political and class enemies in post-World War II Serbia and Montenegro (1944-1947). This documentary was criticized due to fact it inflates number of men killed after liberation of Belgrade by factor of five.〔http://www.fpi.rs/blog/proizvoljnosti-i-netacnosti-u-spisku-za-beograd/〕 In October 2005 Bataković became Director of the Institute for Balkan Studies of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and editor-in-chief of the Institute’s annual ''Balcanica'' journal as well as of its ''Special editions''. In October 2008 he was elected president of the Serbian Committee of AIESEE (''Association Internationale d'Etudes du Sud-Est Europeen''). In 2010 Bataković was elected member of the World Academy of Art and Science(WAAS). Parallel to his academic life, Dušan T. Bataković has also pursued a career in politics and diplomacy.

From 2001 to 2005 he served as Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (later Serbia and Montenegro) to the Hellenic Republic. In July 2005 he became Advisor for political issues to the President of Serbia Boris Tadić.
