== Research ==
Dragojević-Josifovska conducted excavations and undertook research on several sites across Macedonia. These included: [[Valandovo|Isar Marvinci]], [[Dračevo, Skopje|Dracevo]], [[Živojno|Zhivojno]], [[Stobi]], [[Scupi|Skupi]] and others.<ref name=":0" /> In 1961 she led the first team to excavate at Isar Marvinci. During the excavation they uncovered the temple, an aqueduct and a burial monument which featured a soldier holding a Macedonian shield.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Sokolovska|first=Viktorija|url=http://www.kalamus.com.mk/pdf_spisanija/e-book/The%20ancient%20town%20at%20Isar-Marvinci,Valandovo.pdf|title=The Ancient Town at Ivar-Marvinci, Valandovo|publisher=PORTA ARCHAEOLOGICA|year=2012}}</ref> She also studied the [[Petralice Hoard]] of 377 [[Nummus|nummi]], which was discovered in 1950 near Krivia Palanka.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hoard Details 9761|url=https://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/hoard/9761|access-date=2021-08-02|website=chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk}}</ref>

She was a member of the editorial boards for the publication of ancient inscriptions from Yugoslavia and the ''[[Tabula Imperii Romani]]''.<ref>Ristovski, Blaжеe , ed. (2009). " ''Dragoslav'' ". ''Macedonian encyclopedia'' . Skopje: MANU . p. p. 487.&nbsp;'''&nbsp;'''</ref> She published the archaeological reports on the site of [[Gorno Sonje]] in 1982. Inscriptions from the site are significant, as they mention placenames connected to the [[Albanoi]]. One reads in Latin "POSIS MESTYLU F[ILIUS] FL[AVIA] DELVS MVCATI F[ILIA] DOM[O] ALBANOP[OLI] IPSA DELVS" ("Posis Mestylu, son of Flavia, daughter of Delus Mucati, who comes from Albanopolis"). It dates to the end of the 1st century CE and the beginning of the 2nd century CE. Dragojević-Josifovska added two lines to the existing reading: VIVA P(OSUIT) SIBI/ ET VIRO SUO. Delus Mucati is an Illyrian name and his home region was Albanopolis (''domo Albanopoli''). Dragojević-Josifovska proposed that like others he had settled in Macedonia from southern Illyria.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36448898|title=Inscriptions de la Mésie supérieure.
