Achievements and Legacy
During his mandate he developed Knin and the surrounding area, especially in agriculture. He left a legacy of reciprocal respect between the different communities of the Knin region.
In his will he left to the Knin municipality his farm, later called "Montova glavica" with the condition that an agricultural school would be founded there.
During SFRY, the real estate was divided and some leaders of the Knin municipality got assigned for themselves the construction yards. The school has never been named after him. Monti belonged to the rich "class of gentlemen" and, according to the communist criteria of that time, would have been considered an "heresy" to name a school after him.
However, there has been made a monument in front of the school on his honor.

Famous quotes containing the words achievements and/or legacy:
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
