Sažetak
Catholic priest Petar Glavaš came to parish of Tučepi in 1921. During his duty he distinguished himself as founder and secretary of the local branch of the Croatian Popular Party, as well as founder of the Croatian Catholic Youth Association in Tučepi. Because of his political activities Glavaš gained many enemies especially among the members of the Democratic Party which was connected with the local organization of the ORJUNA [Organization of Yugoslav Nationalists]. Archival sources and contemporary periodicals reveal much information about connections among local authorities in Tučepi, local organization of Democratic Party and ORJUNA’s local branches. These animosities between Glavaš and members of the Democratic Party already in 1922 became a political conflict, which soon escalated into physical attacks with fire arms involved. Aftermath of
such affairs were lawsuits at various legal and administrative instances, from the local court administration up to the different ministries in Belgrade, and thanks to these records today is possible to follow development of these events. Especially interesting is debate among ORJUNA’s newspapers Jadran [Adriatic] and Pobeda [Victory] with democratic magazine Život [Life] in which Glavaš tried to clear up his name and deny defamation about his involvement in conspiracy against the king that was proclaimed by ORJUNA’s
newspapers. Petar Glavaš left Tučepi in 1927 and ended his life tragically on 29 March 1945; shoot down by the communist regime in Split because of his – unproven – collaboration with Italians and Ustashas.
