He was captured during an attack on a partisan hospital, tortured, and killed.

EXCERPTS FROM LITERATURE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the April War: “In the last truck, I see Fadil in a white coat, his comrades Ibrica Alikalfi\u0107, \u010ci\u0107o Mili\u0107evi\u0107, Haldun Hrvi\u0107, Sulo Mehmedba\u0161i\u0107, Ante Zelenika, almost the entire lineup of ‘Vele\u017e’ first team. I hear the song-oath of Mostar’s youth to the beloved city: ‘\u2026We won’t let our land be trampled by the fascists\u2026 We would rather die than give away our land!’ Unfortunately, they returned from the battlefront in Montenegro after five days. (\u2026) The front collapsed under the attacks of German and Italian armies.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n About the death: “The hospital in Zvijerina was organizationally independent and complete with its own economy, with 4-5 nurses and everything necessary for its functioning in those conditions… Unfortunately, our relatively well-organized hospital did not have a long life… After a few days, the Chetniks attacked our hospital. There were battles around the hospital throughout the day. It was the target of the attack, and in the evening, we were surrounded and captured. Among the other wounded, Milija Stani\u0161i\u0107 was captured in the hospital. I quickly removed the insignia of the political commissar of the unit from his sleeve, so the Chetniks passed by him as if he were an ordinary fighter, and that’s how he escaped certain death. At the same time, Rade Pravica, Jovo Ljubibrati\u0107, Risto-\u0106i\u0107o Mili\u0107evi\u0107, the youth leader from Mostar, and Du\u0161an Grk, who managed to escape from prison that same evening, were also captured. We sent two young nurses to distract the guard, which Du\u0161an took advantage of and escaped. The Chetniks brutally tortured the youth leader \u0106i\u0107o. It was horrifying to hear his cries… On the night of May 29\/30, 1942, they were taken and thrown into the Vido\u0161ka Pit: Risto-\u0106i\u0107o Mili\u0107evi\u0107, Husref \u0106i\u0161i\u0107<\/a> and Husref Krpo from Mostar, Aka Selimovi\u0107 and Sejfudin Selimovi\u0107 from Bile\u0107a, and Hasiba Ramovi\u0107 and Aka Kazazi\u0107 from Nevesinje.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Risto’s name was recorded on a memorial plaque<\/a> in Mostar Gymnasium after the war.
