Pribićević, Svetozar

Pribićević, Svetozar

▪ Yugoslavian politician
born Oct. 26, 1875, Karlovac, Croatia, Austria-Hungary
died Sept. 15, 1936, Prague, Czech.

      Yugoslav politician, leader of the Serbs within Austria-Hungary before the empire's dissolution at the end of World War I.

      Initially Pribićević favoured a centralized Yugoslav nation rather than a federation of the South Slav peoples; as minister of the interior, he jailed Stjepan Radić (Radić, Stjepan), head of the Croatian Peasant Party, who urged a pluralistic state. In 1927, however, Pribićević became converted to federalism and espoused the democratic rather than the authoritarian ideal. On Jan. 5, 1929, he and Vladimir Maček (successor to Radić as Croatian Peasant Party chief) urged Alexander I, king of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, to establish a federal system, but the king reacted by proclaiming a dictatorship the next day. Pribićević retained his leadership of the Independent Democratic Party, which he had founded in 1924.
