Spasoje Hadži Popović

Spasoje Hadži Popović (Serbian Cyrillic: Спасоје Хаџи Поповић; 18 August 1882 – 3 July 1926) was a Serbian teacher in Bitola and newspaper editor of Južne Zvezde (Southern Stars). He was born in Akritas (known as Buf in Slavic), in Florina (now Greece). Growing up, he was a witness to the conflict between the Constantinopolitan Patriarchate and Bulgarian Exarchate which divided the Slavic Christian people in Ottoman Macedonia.[1] He enrolled in the Serbian Gymnasium in Bitola in 1899.[1] He then enrolled in the teacher school in Aleksinac, which had been moved there from Belgrade, together with many pupils from Ottoman territory.[2] He was a member of the Saint Sava Society.[1] He was murdered by VMRO agents, who made a range of assassinations and terrorist acts against Serbs at that time.[3]
