Jovan Gavrilović

Jovan Gavrilović (3 November 1796 in Vukovar, Habsburg monarchy – 29 July 1877 in Belgrade, Principality of Serbia) was a Serbian historian, politician, statesman, and public figure.Considered a connoisseur of fine art, he was the most sought after groom of Vukovar and Srem,[citation needed] but he always fled into the world of books and correspondence with Serbian intellectuals of his time.[5][6] On 10 June 1868 he became the head of state, sharing the three-person regency, with Milivoje Blaznavac and Jovan Ristić, which took care of the newly elected prince Milan Obrenović, without any compensation.He respected and appreciated the ideas of Dositej Obradović and made friends with Lukijan Mušicki, and tried in various ways to help the development of higher education in the young Serbian state.[9] In July 1893, the teachers' association erected a modest monument, a bust on a stone plinth, made by sculptor Petar Ubavkić, in a spot on Belgrade's Kalemegdan park.
