Milorad Draškovic (Serbian Cyrillic: ??????? ?????????; 10 April 1873 – 21 July 1921) was a Serbian politician who was the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.On 21 July 1921 Alija Alijagic, a member of the communist organization Crvena Pravda, shot and killed Draškovic.
Although Draškovic was a staunch anti-communist and enacted several pieces of anti-communist legislation, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia condemned the act.
Nevertheless, this inspired King Alexander to make a law concerning protection of the state that made the communist party illegal.His son Slobodan Drashkovich was sent to a Nazi concentration camp in WW2, and later emigrated to the US.
There he became a member of the Serbian National Defense Council as well as the John Birch Society but later left due to being disillusioned with its pacifism.
