Source-derived summary

Đorđe Stojšić (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Стојшић; 28 May 1928 – 7 August 2014) was a politician in Serbia and a prominent political figure in the Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.

Early life and wartime activities

Stojšić was born in Jarak, a village in Sremska Mitrovica in what was then Syrmia Oblast in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In July 1943, at age fifteen, he joined the Fourth Military District Brigade of the 16th Vojvodina Division of the Yugoslav Partisans and fought against German Nazi occupation forces and their allies during the Axis occupation of Serbia.

Political career

Stojšić was the president of the Assembly of Vojvodina from 1982 to 1983 and subsequently served as President of the Presidency of the League of Communists of Vojvodina from 1985 to 1988. By virtue of holding the latter position, he automatically served on the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia and the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Serbia. He was also a delegate in the National Assembly of Serbia and a member of its agriculture committee, and was involved in the political life of Sremska Mitrovica for more than forty years, serving for a time as president of its municipal assembly.

Stojšić was an opponent of Serbian nationalism. His political career came to an end due to a conflict with Slobodan Milošević in 1988, at a time when Milošević was secretary of the League of Communists of Serbia and still consolidating his control over the political institutions of Serbia and Yugoslavia. When Milošević threatened to remove the autonomous status of Vojvodina and Kosovo, Stojšić responded by urging Milošević's removal from office. He was quoted as saying, "if he isn't stopped ...

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Đorđe Stojšić (Serbian politician, born 1928)” is yugoslavian and Serbian politician. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Đorđe, Stojšić and Serbian, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1928, 2014, 1943, 1982—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1928-05-28, 1928-05-04—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. For this dossier, Đorđe, Stojšić and Serbian is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “yugoslavian and Serbian politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q60693904. VIAF identifies the subject as 111144782700635850315. The Library of Congress control number is n2019015238. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1928, 2014, 1943 and 1982.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
