Stojan Kovačević was a freedom-fighter in the Herzegovina uprising of 1875. Stojan was born in 1821 and died on 23 April 1911.[1] Stojan and his cousin Petko Kovačević fought continuously against the Ottomans in the Herzegovina uprising of 1875. His nephew was the famed Chetnik voivode Vladimir Kovačević who was killed in the Battle of Tabanovce.
Stojan Kovačević's likeness was illustrated in the Serbian magazine Orao (Eagle) along with Bogdan Zimonjić, Mićo Ljubibratić, and Petar Popović. The Orao magazine that had them illustrated was first published in Novi Sad in 1876. The poet, Aleksa Šantić, once dedicated a song, named "Stojan Kovačević". Stojan played a most significant role in the Herzegovina uprising of 1875, which was a part of a point of humiliation for the Ottoman Empire named the Great Eastern Crisis.
On 13 July 1878, when the Congress of Berlin officially ended, the Archduchy of Austria-Hungary ruled by Franz Joseph the First claimed the modern-day territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina according to the Congress of Berlin. Stojan did not recognize the Austro-Hungarian rule in Herzegovina. So, in 1882, he initiated the Herzegovinians to a new uprising.[2]
