Stevan Moljević
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STE : Stevan Moljević
Dr Stevan Moljević (1888-1946) was a Serbian lawyer from Banja Luka, who participated in the Chetnik uprising in Second World War. Some Bosnian and Croatian historians claim that he was a major ideologue of the movement, pointing out that his exposition at the Chetnik St Sava Congress held in January 1944 at the village of Ba, near Gornji Milanovac and Ravna Gora, was adopted as a congress resolution. However, some Serbian historians claim that Moljević had minuscule influence on Serbian political thought and Chetnik ideology.
On 30 June 1941, Moljević published a booklet with the title On Our State and Its Borders. He proposed a future federal Yugoslav state composed of three units: Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. The Serbian unit was to include Bosnia, Mostar (Herzegovina), parts of Croatia (Metkovic, Sibenik, Zadar, Ploce, Dubrovnik, Karlovac, Osijek, Vinkovci, Vukovar), as well as Pécs (Hungary), Timişoara (Romania), Vidin and Kyustendil (Bulgaria), the entire Macedonia and North Albania.
Quotes
- One must take the opportunity of the war conditions and at a suitable moment take hold of the territory marked on the map, cleanse it before anybody notices and with strong battalions occupy the key places: Osijek, Vinkovci, Slavonski Brod, Knin, Šibenik, Mostar, Metković and the territory surrounding these cities, freed of non-Serb elements. The guilty must be promptly punished and the others deported - the Croats to Croatia, the Muslims to Turkey or perhaps Albania - while the vacated territory is settled with Serb refugees now located in Serbia.
