Сочица)[1] was a Montenegrin and Serbian politician and lawyer, from the Old Herzegovina region. He is the son of the Lazar Sočica, notable Montenegrin vojvoda and the chieftain of the Piva clan.[2]
In the Second Balkan War, Risto Sočica, leading a battalion from Piva region, took part in a significant battle of Bregalnica as part of the Montenegrin division, in 1913, which was the largest battle of the war.[3] After the Podgorica Assembly in 1918 and the unification of Montenegro with Kingdom of Serbia, Mujo Socica was appointed as the head of the Nikšić district of the newly formed province of Montenegro (later Zeta), within the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In 1932 he was elected senator of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Between 1934 and 1936, Mujo Sočica served as Ban of Zeta.[4]
