The Serbian government will repatriate the remains of Blagoje Jovovic, a Serbian man who asserted responsibility for the 1957 shooting of Ante Pavelic, the leader of the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia during World War II. Pavelic, responsible for the genocide of Serbs, Jews, and Roma, survived the assassination attempt in Argentina and died years later without being brought to justice. Jovovic’s remains will be buried in Belgrade, a decision likely to spark controversy given Pavelic’s legacy and the sensitive historical relationship between Serbia and Croatia. The move comes after years of requests from Jovovic’s family. While Jovovic confessed to the attack, questions remain regarding the full circumstances and potential involvement of other parties. The repatriation signifies a complex acknowledgement of a historical event and its enduring impact.
