Klonimir Strojimirović or Klonimir of Serbia (Greek: Kλονίμης, Latin: Clonimerus) was a 9th-century Serbian royalty that briefly ruled Dostinika in 867, a city he had occupied of the Serbian ruler Petar.[2]
His father Strojimir was the youngest son of Vlastimir of Serbia. Strojimir and his brother Gojnik rebelled against the oldest brother Mutimir and was defeated and exiled as prisoners (guarantors of peace) to the Bulgarian Tsar Boris.[2][3]
Klonimir was upbringed as a political refugee at the Bulgar court at Pliska of Tsar Boris. Boris chose the wife of Klonimir, whom he had an only son, Časlav Klonimirović.[2][4]
After the death of Mutimir in 890-891, Prvoslav rules for a year until Petar defeats Prvoslav in a battle and becomes the Ruler of Serbia. [[Klonimir tried to take over the Serbian throne from his cousin Petar Gojniković in 896 with the support of Tsar Boris.[3] He advanced taking over the stronghold of Dostinika, an important Serbian city, but was later defeated and killed by Petar.[2][5]
