Slobodan Bajić Paja (1916–1943[1]) was a People's Hero of Yugoslavia.[1] He was an important leader of the partisans in World War II in Syrmia. During the fight with the Nazis in Eastern Bosnia, he was killed.[1] He was awarded the "Order of the People's Hero" in 1952.
Early life
Slobodan Bajić Paja was born in village Banovci [1] in Croatia where he lived until his sixth year. He was son of a local Orthodox priest in St. Petka's Church.[1] From 1922, he lived in Pećinci in Serbia, where his father was transferred. He graduated from high school in Sremski Karlovci. Slobodan started participating in the work of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia while still in high school but he formally joined the party during his studies at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy in 1938.[1]
Legacy
Elementary Schools in Indija,[2] Pećinci,[3] Novi Karlovci,[4] Brestač,[5] Donji Tovarnik,[6] and Sremska Mitrovica[7] bear his name. His name also has a city library in Ruma.[8] Before the Croatian War of Independence, School in Šidski Banovci also bears his name but the Croatian government decided to rename the school in Elementary School Ilača-Banovci by the villages where the school is located. However, the bust of Slobodan Bajic Paja in front of the school in Šidski Banovci has not been removed, and one of the streets in the village still bears his name. Unfortunately, at the same time a monument to Slobodan Bajic Paji together with mausoleum of 33 anti-fascist partisans in Kalesija was destroyed and the bones were then confiscated and lost by local Bosniaks authorities four months after the end of the war in that country.[9] Although the Public Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina subsequently attempted to investigate the matter, competent investigative institutions in Tuzla refused to open a formal investigation.[9]
