“The command of our platoon made a decision to attack the Gendarmerie station in Podgorani, near Bijelo Polje. Commander Blagoje Vu\u010durevi\u0107 and deputy commissioner Du\u0161an Kostadinovi\u0107, along with a squad from our platoon and a squad from the Miljevska platoon, set out during the night of May 8\/9 from Pori. The attack was carried out at dawn, after surrounding the station. The guard in front of the station was killed, and then Du\u0161an Kostadinovi\u0107, under the cover of rifle and machine gun fire, approached the station, threw in grenades, and set it on fire. Surviving gendarmes jumped out of the station, some through the windows and others through the doors, and were met with the gunfire of our fighters. Six gendarmes were killed, and one was seriously wounded. Their names are listed in the report of the Velika \u017dupa in Mostar, dated May 16, 1942.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DU\u0160AN KOSTADINOVI\u0106, son of SIMEON, born on January 23, 1908, in Ba\u0107evi\u0107i near Mostar.

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.
