Reflections of the political commissar of the Mostar Battalion, Enver \u0106emalovi\u0107, about Aco:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“ALEKSANDAR ALAGI\u0106, squad leader, and MILORAD PIKULA MEDO<\/a>, corporal, a worker from Mostar, set out from Turija towards the first houses on the hill slopes to cook rice for their hungry squad members, but they never returned. Later, we heard that they were captured and disarmed by the Chetniks in the house where they were cooking pilaf. The captured Aco and Milorad were taken to Borci, and after interrogation, they were shot. During the interrogation, Aco and Medo bravely confronted the Chetniks, threatening them and calling them traitors. Aco, with his blonde hair, was a student but full of strength and defiance, an exceptionally brave bomber, always among the first in the attack. He stood out for his bravery in the squad, and even in the entire Battalion. He was a good comrade. He dreamed of studying forestry after the war… When we found out where Aleksandar Aco Alagi\u0107 and Milorad Pikula were executed, we sent a group of our fighters who found them covered in branches and bushes.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ALEKSANDAR ACO ALAGI\u0106, son of MARKO, born on February 24, 1923, in Gra\u010dac near Gospi\u0107, student at the Commercial Academy in Mostar, football player for “Vele\u017e,” member of SKOJ since 1940 and KPJ since 1942.

Until the formation of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade in May 1944, 827 fighters passed through the Battalion, and 445 of them perished, including 211 from Mostar. Of the 86 women, 43 were killed. Mostar residents also fought in many other units of the NOVJ (People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia) and among the ranks of the activists of the National Liberation War in Mostar and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina... According to the records of the organization SUBNOR Mostar, every third citizen was an activist of the National Liberation War, 670 fighters were killed, 1517 were victims of fascist terror, and 206 were civilian war victims.

Those of us who were 17, 18 years old, some seemed old even though they were not older than 25. The ones over 30 were rare. There were girls and boys with different characteristics and temperaments, robust and calm, talkative and silent, recklessly brave and rational, ordinary and above-average, semi-literate and university-educated, workers and highly skilled craftsmen, high school students and university students, skilled singers and those who couldn't carry a tune, jokers and serious-minded individuals. From all our nations and religions: Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and semi-atheists. Some were from straight from Mostar and others from the surrounding locations, from Konjic and outside Konjic.\" (Hercegovina Magazine No. 7, p. 238)\r\n\r\nGroups of new fighters arrived from Mostar every 10-15 days, and the Unit quickly grew into a solid military force. The guides for the groups from Mostar were Mehmed Arap, Vasa Maslo, Serif Buri\u0107, Husa Orman, Vojo Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, and Pero Krajina, who were among the bravest and most resourceful fighters. The groups regularly brought not only weapons but also medical supplies, sugar for the hospital, writing materials, large quantities of paper, books taken from the National Library (which formed the library at Borci), and other supplies for the needs of the Unit.
