Life
The holy hieromartyr Dušan Diklić was a priest, parish priest at Plitvički Leskovac, near Korenica, in the diocese of Gornji Karlovac, and is numbered among the holy martyrs of that diocese. He studied at the Faculty of Theology in Belgrade in the second half of the 1930s. His commemoration belongs to the Synaxis of the Saints who taught and studied at the Theological School of Belgrade, whose celebration was ordered by Patriarch Porfirije in February 2024, pending the official decision.
The sources say only that he was parish priest at Plitvički Leskovac and that he was killed in the time of the war. The martyrs of the diocese of Gornji Karlovac were killed in 1941 and in the following years. No other details of his life survive.
