Pavle Obradović

Pavle Obradović was a protopresbyter of the Serbian Orthodox Church, born on 17 June 1871 in Bruvno, near Gračac, and killed in 1941 by the Ustaše. He is honoured as a new martyr.

He completed the gymnasium at Sremski Karlovci, where he also finished the seminary in 1892. He was ordained in 1894 and was parish priest first at Istok, then at Nebljusi, near Donji Lapac, where he remained until 1941. Between 15 and 16 June 1941 he received from the Ustaše headquarters a summons to a hearing at Donji Lapac; the mass liquidation of the more prominent Serbs had then begun. On arriving at Donji Lapac he was imprisoned and sent to the concentration camp at Gospić. He was killed and thrown into the pit at Jadovno, on Velebit.
