Juro Adlešič

Juro Adlešič (7 May 1884 – 29 September 1968) was a Slovenian lawyer and politician.

He was born in the village of Adlešiči in the Slovene region of White Carniola, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

He joined the conservative Slovene People's Party, and served in the editorial board of the newspaper Slovenec.

He stayed in office also after the Italian annexation of south-central Slovenia during World War II, but resigned in June 1942.

After World War Two, Adlešič decided to stay in the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, unlike many prominent members of the Slovene People's Party, who escaped in fear of Communist persecution.
