Sažetak

Đuro Pulić (born in Dubrovnik, 1816 — died in Rome, 1883) is a meritorious politician and patriot. Educated as a priest (he got a doctor's degree in theology) he did not practice his profession, all his life he was a teacher first in Dubrovnik and then a director of Zadar, Split and Trento grammar-schools. In 1848 he demonstrated his antiaustrian attitude and desire for the union of the Croatian people.
After the constitution had been introduced in the Habsburg Monarchy 1860/61, Pulić was one of the main organizers of the Dalmatian People's Party to which at the beginning he was the leader. The Party pleaded for the union of the Croatians who were separated under the Habsburg rule. The Party strove hard to introduce Croatian as an official language in Dalmatia instead of Italian unnaturally imposed upon her people.
Pulić’s political influence was in the way of the ruling regime. Because of that he was moved from Dalmatia to the South Tyrol (1863), where he stayed up to his retirement (1877). During that period Pulić was twice the member of the Dalmatian Assembly where he represented his Party (1861—1864, 1867—1870). The members of the Dalmatia People's Party wanted Pulić to return to Dalmatia either as a regional school-inspector or as a bishop. The Vienna Government did not permit it considering that with Pulić's coming back national political movement in Dalmatia could be intensified. From abroad Pulić helped various institutions in Dalmatia as well as different political actions of his Party, to which he belonged up to his death.
