Milorad Drašković


Milorad Drašković was a Serbian politician who was the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Death

On 21 July 1921 Alija Alijagić, a member of the communist organization Crvena Pravda, shot and killed Drašković. Although Drašković was a staunch anti-communist and enacted several pieces of anti-communist legislation, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia condemned the act. Nevertheless, this inspired King Alexander to make a law concerning protection of the state that made the communist party illegal.

Personal life

He had four children: Radoje, Bojana, Slobodan and Milorad.
His son Slobodan was sent to a Nazi concentration camp in the Second World War and later emigrated to the United States. There he became a member of the Serbian National Defense Council as well as the John Birch Society but later left due to being disillusioned with its pacifism.
