Montenegrin Party on the Assassination of Stjepan Radić and Other Croatian People’s Representatives in the Assembly of the Kingdom of SHS (1928)

Summary/Abstract: The assassination of Croatian people’s representatives, which took place on June 20, 1928, in Belgrade during the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, has been extensively documented in history books. Puniša Račić, a member of the People’s Radical Party, carried out the assassination, killing Pavle Radić and Dr. Đuro Bašariček at the assembly and gravely wounded Stjepan Radić, who passed away as a result of the assassination in Zagreb on August 8, 1928. Račić then injured the Croatian delegates, Ivan Pernar and Ivan Granđa. The goal of this article is to provide information and proof of the Montenegrin party’s response and handling of the crime, rather than repeating what is widely known. Using various sources and methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison, along with relevant historical literature, this paper summarizes how the Montenegrin Party condemned the assassination and how its representatives in the National Assembly of the Kingdom of SHS, who belonged to the Peasant-Democratic Coalition Club, Dr. Sekula Drljević and Mihailo Ivanović, left the club after the assassination along with the other representatives of the SDK Assembly and never came back. The Montenegrin party believed that the assassination was premeditated, coordinated, and the result of a plot by Belgrade’s hegemonic and centralist leadership.
