BRANKO (TODOR\u2019S SON) MRKI\u0106 lived and studied in Mostar, later a student at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Electrical Engineering. A pre-war member of SKOJ. Arrested by the Usta\u0161e on June 25, 1941, in Mostar together with Ilija Kokotovi\u0107. Both were taken by them toward Bijelo Polje with the intention of being executed on the banks of the Neretva River. However, they both manage to jump into the river and, under cover of darkness, save themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was taken together with other arrested Serbs from Mostar to Gospi\u0107 and killed in the Jadovno concentration camp camp. Ilija Kokotovi\u0107 escaped the same fate by leaving for Serbia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
