Sažetak
Because of his non agreement with General Petar Živković, a person close to King Alexander, General Panta Draškić was transferred to Croatia, and his first official contact with Varaždin occurred in 1927. He came to Varaždin with his family, and with his regular military duties, he participated in the social life of the city. He actively supported the work of those organizations in Varaždin that promoted integral Yugoslav idea, and also charitable organizations. After Draškić clashed with those who have enjoyed great confidence of P. Živković in Varaždin, followed in the summer 1931 permanent transfer from the city. His case is interesting because booth his farewell dinner’s organized local Varaždin civic organizations – those who promoted unitary Yugoslav idea, and others who still had a Croatian name in their title. It can be assumed that contemporaries respected Panta Draškić because there are no records of incident with him, and he obviously respect the community in which he lived. At the same time, no one of the city board leading men attended to the farewell dinner, as Draškić later confirmed in his diary. They probably did not want to antagonize P. Živković and thus endanger their political positions. This topic will be probably able to learn more by further archival research and the publication of the remaining Draškić’s diary.
