Dr. Ante Pavelić, (Croatian pronunciation: [ǎːnte pǎʋelit͡ɕ]; 19 May 1869 in Gospić – 11 February 1938 in Zagreb) was a Croatian dentist and politician.[1][2]
In Croatian sources, he is usually referred as stariji ("senior") or zubar ("dentist")[2] to be distinguished from the more notable Croatian fascist leader and politician Ante Pavelić, who was twenty years younger and member of a different Party of Rights.
Starting in 1906 he was a member of the Croatian parliament (Sabor) from the Party of Rights.[1] The Party of Rights that Pavelić belonged to was known as Milinovci,[2] after their leader Mile Starčević.
On October 5, 1918 Pavelić presided over the initial session of the National Assembly of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.[2] On October 19, he became the vice president of the National Assembly.[2] Pavelić authored the Croatian Parliament's declaration of October 29, 1918 that formally acknowledged the National Assembly as the superior authority over Croatia.[2]
Pavelić and others started negotiating with the Serbian envoy to the National Assembly Dušan T. Simović as soon as Hungary signed a truce with the Allies on October 13, 1918 - Simović had said that their military victory and the treaty with Hungary gave them right to most of the territory of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, whereas Pavelić said that they want unification with Serbia, but that they needed a federal state as well as a delineation of Croatian and Serbian population that would assume a population transfer. Simović rejected the talk of federalization and Pavelić yielded, and there was no further discussion on either issue.[2]
As a delegate of the Assembly, he read the statement on uniting the SHS state with Kingdom of Serbia into Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes on 1 December 1918.[1][2]
Later, Pavelić joined the Democratic Party, and in 1932, he became the Speaker of the Senate of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[1]
