Dragiša Stojadinović

As a graduate of Zajecar gymnasium, Stojadinović contacted fellow countrymen in Belgrade, members of the University Association of Bloodbrothers who recruited young people to liberate the Christian population in Old Serbia, then under Ottoman occupation.

At the age of 19 in the spring of 1905, he left with voivode Doksim Mihailović to cross the Ottoman-occupied border and participated in the Fight on Čelopek.

After this fight, he continued as a freedom-fighter in the Kumanovo area under the command of Đorđe Skopljanče and later in the Veles and Prilep region under the voivodes Rade Radivojević, Jovan Babunski and Vasilije Trbić until 1908.

In the skirmish with Bulgarians in the village of Drenovo near Makedonski Brod[6] on 14 June 1907, he shot the rifle off the hands of VMRO voivode Stefan Dimitrov.

In 1936 he came into conflict with Milan Stojadinović whom he attacked for trying to make a rapprochement with the Axis forces.

After the war, he engaged in writing and left a rich written legacy, as well as the search for his own films that OZNA (Odeljenje za zaštitu naroda, in other words, the security agency of Communist Yugoslavia that existed between 1944 and 1952) stole.
