Jovan Aranđelović (Serbian Cyrillic: Јован Аранђеловић; 1870 - ) was a Serbian freedom-fighter in the 1903 Old Serbia and Macedonia campaign to liberate the southern Balkan territory from the Ottoman yoke.

Biography

Jovan Aranđelović was a well-educated Serbian Orthodox priest who, at the time of the Ottoman occupation, also worked as a village schoolteacher, tutor, and was an ardent civic nationalist at a time when the Turks were trying hard to convert the Christian population to Islam. With more success among the Albanian population, they were able to persuade Arbanasi who were a majority in some mixed villages to collude with the "authorities".

This and other abuses among the Christian population forced Aranđelović to join the Serbian Chetnik Organization and begin the task of dismantling the Turkish hegemony in the Balkans by launching Ilinden and all the battles that followed until the Balkan Wars and the Great War that decimated populations on both sides of the political spectrum.

Legacy

Today there is a public school in Crvena Reka named after him.
