Mate Drinković

Mate Drinković (Jelsa, 29 April 1868 – Vienna, 18 May 1931) was a physician and Croatian and Yugoslavian politician.

He graduated from the University of Graz obtaining a degree in medicine before practising in Ston, Vodice, and Šibenik.

Drinković supported the Rijeka Resolution [hr] calling on the unification of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia and Dalmatia.

A year later, Drinković took part in the establishment of the short-lived State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs carved out of Austria-Hungary at the conclusion of the World War I.

Subsequently, his political views gradually changed towards the advocation of integral Yugoslavism.
