Arsenije "Arso" Jovanovic (Serbian Cyrillic: ???? ?????????; 1907–1948) was a Yugoslav partisan general and their foremost military commander to participate in World War II in Yugoslavia. Educated through the Yugoslav Royal Army academies, General Jovanovic was one of the best-educated generals among the partisan forces in Yugoslavia, speaking French, Russian and English.
His military reports distinguished him, sometimes running to as many as ten pages, and he stayed close to the partisan High Command, lecturing in the first partisan officer school in Drvar, 1944.
After the Tito–Stalin Split in 1948, General Jovanovic openly sided with the Soviet Union.
He was killed by Yugoslav border guards while trying to escape to Romania with two other Montenegrin dissidents, Vlado Dapcevic and Branko Petricevic, who were captured alive.
