In the literature, her sorrow over the death of Hasan Zahirovi\u0107 Laca<\/a> is recorded, which occurred two months before her own: “A stray bullet, fired from a great distance, struck him in the left eyebrow and remained lodged in his head. Laca fell without a word. What a strange death of a legendary hero. We approached him. Among us was nurse \u0160taka Mi\u0107kovi\u0107, Lacina’s comrade, and Rifat Frenjo<\/a>, who cried like children, kissing and caressing the lifeless Laca<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Mensur Seforovi\u0107, Staka was “Laca’s great love.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n * According to the source “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945.”, the name is Staka (in some other sources, it is written as \u0160taka).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STAKA MI\u0106KOVI\u0106*, daughter of JOVO, born on April 10, 1924, in 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.
