Blagoje Jovović ((セルビア語:Благоје Јововић), 1922 – June 2, 1999) was a participant of the antifascist war in Yugoslavia in both partisan and chetniks' movements, though he spent most of the war with Bjepavlić's Chetnik brigade. Jovović is notorious for attempting the assassination of Croatian Ustaše leader and Nazi collaborator Ante Pavelić, on April 10, 1957. == Biography == Jovović was born in Kosić, in the vicinity of Danilovgrad. In World War II he fought for the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland, and he was a member of the Bjepavlić Chetnik brigade. At the time when the World War II started, Jovović was serving in Strumica, near the Yugoslav border with Greece. For his part in the April War he was honoured a medal. When the war was over, he came back to his birthplace, Kosić in Bjelopavlici. As of July 1941 he took place in antifascist war against Italy. With Kosić’s partisan unit he participated in the battle of Pljevlja, and later he became the commander of that unit. He denied to perform the order of his commander Ivan Milutinović to attack Baja Stanišić, who was planning to attack after finding out that communists were preparing to attack their political opponents, because “he didn’t want to take part in the brothers’ killing war”. Meanwhile, he started fighting with the Chetniks, under the command of Baja Stanisic, who was also previously his professor in military academy. As of September 1944, he was part of delegation that was sent across the Adriatic Sea to Italy to negotiate with the British authorities. Jovović spent his time in Italy in several immigration camps. He was surrounded by the people tied to the intelligence service operations. On one such occasion, he met Randolph Churchill who he didn't have a high opinion of.〔() Tihomir Tiho Burzanović, ''Knjiga o Blagoju Jovoviću - Dva metka za Pavelića.''〕 At that time he also found out that the Catholic Church had been hiding Ante Pavelic inside the Vatican under the false name. Jovović conceived the idea of finding and executing Pavelić. Jovović was known as a philanthropist, the founder and of Serbian Orthodox community “Saint Sava”, and one of the founders of the Organisation of Fighters “Draža Mihailović” as well as the member of the Board of the “Njegos” association. While living in Argentina and running a successful hotel enterprise that he owned, Jovović receives tips about Ante Pavelić whereabouts. It was revealed he that he is in Argentina. Jakov Jovović has started with the assassination plans, but soon after Blagoje Jovović voluntarily agreed to execute it. They were also joined by Milo Krivokapić. A decision has been made, so the assassination was supposed to take place on April 9, 1957, on the eve of the Independent State of Croatia’s anniversary celebration, but it was decided that the assassination be delayed for the day after.〔 On April 10 at 9 P.M., local time, Pavelić, suspected that someone is following him, so he turned back and fired several shots towards Jovović. Jovović then started running after Pavelic and in his direction he fired five shots, with two hitting him. He then staggered, bent and he was begging for mercy.〔 The assassination is illustrated in the following excerpt from the book “Two shots for Pavelić” („''Два метка за Павелића''”):〔 Pavelić never recovered from injuries, as he suffered from diabetes. He died on December 28, 1959 as the result of those wounds. Jovović visited Serbia and Montenegro for the first time after 55 years in 1999 when he visited Ostrog, where he met Metropolitan Amfilohije. He publicly confessed, right there, that he was the person responsible for assassinating Ante Pavelić.〔 Jovović died on June 2, 1999 in Rosario, just few months after the visit to his birthplace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blagoje Jovović」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
