Bogdanović concentrated on the history of medieval Serbian principalities and history of the Serbian Orthodox Church during the Middle Ages.
In 1978, Bogdanović became corresponding member of the Serbian Academy, in 1985 regular member.
Criticism
editAccording to the Serbian historian Olivera Milosavljević, Bogdanović has spread negative image of Albanians with a claim that Albanian political movement is "aggressive, conquering, revanchist, conservative and nationalistic", whose goals are to destroy the Serbian nation "by expelling, killing or erasing the historical consciousness", and all with the aim to appropriate Serbian territories. According to him, thesis about Illyrian origin of Albanians is "racist" because it determines priority right to the territories.[1]
