Stojan Protić (Template:Lang-sr-cyrl; 28 January 1857 – 28 October 1923) was a Serbian politician and writer. He served as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes between 1918 and 1919, and again in 1920, later called Yugoslavia. He is best remembered as the key theoretician of Serbian parliamentarism.

BiographyEdit

Stojan M. Protić was born in Kruševac.<ref name="St. Protić">Template:Cite book</ref> His great-great-grandfather (čukundeda), Toma Dečanac, moved from the village of Dečani to Kruševac with his wife and two sons.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Having studied history and philosophy in Belgrade's Grandes écoles (Velika škola), Protić briefly worked in government service before dedicating himself to journalism and becoming editor of Samouprava ("Autonomy"), the official daily newspaper of the People's Radical Party.<ref name="Britannica">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1884, he became the editor of another paper, Odjek ("Echo"), and advocated changing Serbia's constitution.<ref name="Roszkowski & Kofman">Template:Cite book</ref> He ran in the 1887 elections and was elected to the Parliament.<ref name="St. Protić" /> As secretary of the Constitutional committee in 1888 Protić participated in drafting the Serbian Constitution,<ref name="Roszkowski & Kofman" /> perhaps one of the most liberal constitutions in late nineteenth-century Europe. He became an influential ideologist of the People's Radical Party and a talented journalist. He continued to write numerous articles for several political magazines while in the office.

Protić was often elected as a deputy of the People's Radical Party in the Serbian Parliament in the following years, 1887, 1897, 1901, 1903, 1905, 1906, 1908 and 1912. Known as an ardent polemist and advocate of British-type democracy, he served as a deputy in the first Yugoslav parliament (1920) as well.

He was the Minister of Interior in various governments in Serbia after 1903 (Administrations of Jovan Avakumović, Sava Grujić, Nikola Pašić), as well as the Minister of Finance (1909-1912).<ref name="Roszkowski & Kofman" /> As the Minister of the Interior at the outbreak of World War I, he worked on the Serbian reply to the Austro-Hungarian Ultimatum during the July Crisis.<ref name="Roszkowski & Kofman" /> He supported the Corfu Declaration (1917), opposed the Geneva Declaration (November 9, 1918), and sought to revise the Vidovdan Constitution. In December 1918, Protić was appointed the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes by Prince-Regent Aleksandar Karađorđević.<ref name="Roszkowski & Kofman" /> His government, unfortunately, lasted from 20 December 1918 to 16 August 1919. He was the Prime Minister once more from 19 February to 17 May 1920. In 1923, after leaving the Radicals, led by Pašić, he formed a new party the Independent Radical Party (Nezavisna Radikalna Stranka) but failed to gain support.<ref name="Roszkowski & Kofman" /> After losing his parliamentary seat in his traditional constituency in Kruševac, Protić quit politics.

His books translated into English, German, Russian and French were published under the pseudonym "Balkanicus".

DeathEdit

Protić died of heart disease in Belgrade in 1923.

His great-grandson is Milan St. Protić,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> a historian, politician and diplomat who served as the Mayor of Belgrade.
