Croat of The Day - The Pilar Project

Today's Croat of the Day is Dr. Milan Sufflay:

Dr. Milan Sufflay - PdD in Philosophy, historian, the founder of Albanology - a world-known Academic. A strong supporter of the Croatian right to self-determination and a member of the Croatian Party of Right. The romanticism between Croatian nationalism and the river "Drina" can most likely be attributed to him. Dr. Sufflay believed that the river Drina was not merely a natural border between Croatia and Serbia, but the divide which divided the world between Eastern and Western cultures. He was killed by a radical Yugoslav hitman in broad daylight in 1931. His death was a catalyst to Albert Einstien's appeal to the League of Nations regarding the oppression of Croats within Yugoslavia.
