He remained thirsty for life, for mischief, for the passion he wrote about. He was full of unfulfilled desires and ambitions. He became a famous poet who died of an incurable disease at the age of 29, because of which, unwilling to come to terms with certain death, he left his law studies behind and enrolled in medicine hoping that he would be cured.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-02440e7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"02440e7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c865f62\" data-id=\"c865f62\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9a278c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d9a278c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/Visitns-Sremski-Karlovci-spomenik-Branko-Radicevic-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-44807\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/Visitns-Sremski-Karlovci-spomenik-Branko-Radicevic-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/Visitns-Sremski-Karlovci-spomenik-Branko-Radicevic-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/Visitns-Sremski-Karlovci-spomenik-Branko-Radicevic-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0cd3ccd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0cd3ccd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a3ca191\" data-id=\"a3ca191\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d15003b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d15003b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Milica Stojadinovi\u0107 Srpkinja<\/strong><\/h2><p>Serbian heroine known for her patriotic poetry, <strong>Milica Stojadinovi\u0107 Srpkinja<\/strong>, created in a period when female poets were rare in Europe. She was born in Bukovac in 1828 or 1830 (it is not known for sure), but she was extremely attached to Fru\u0161ka Gora and Vrdnik, where she spent most of her life, which is why she was often called the \u2018Vrdnik Fairy\u2019. On Vidovdan 1912, a monument to her was erected near Irig, which is the first monument to a woman in Serbian culture.<\/p><p><strong>Vuk Stefanovi\u0107 Karad\u017ei\u0107<\/strong> loved her as his own child and called her <strong>\u2018my daughter from Fru\u0161ka\u2019<\/strong>, and Milica and Vuk&#8217;s daughter Mina were good friends. She was a rarely educated woman of that time, she spoke German and translated Goethe and Balzac, and she could also play the guitar. She published her first works as a thirteen-year-old girl. The main feature of her poetry, but also of her life, was her love for the Serbian people. Her role model was the aforementioned poet Branko Radi\u010devi\u0107, but her attention was also drawn to the work of J. J. Zmaj. She remained an inspiration to many female authors from the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, up to contemporary literature, thus the writer and director Vida Ognjenovi\u0107 immortalized her with the <strong><em>Poetess<\/em><\/strong> play.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-542c73b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"542c73b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-70eff46\" data-id=\"70eff46\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fca0298 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fca0298\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/page1-1200px-Milica_Stojadinovic_Srpkinja.pdf.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-44809\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/page1-1200px-Milica_Stojadinovic_Srpkinja.pdf.jpg 567w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2023\/03\/page1-1200px-Milica_Stojadinovic_Srpkinja.pdf-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dc462d4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dc462d4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-630607f\" data-id=\"630607f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cfcc9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8cfcc9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>\u0110or\u0111e Bala\u0161evi\u0107<\/strong><\/h2><p>We could not bring the list of the most significant poets of Novi Sad to an end without the <strong><em>Pannonian sailor<\/em><\/strong> <strong>\u0110or\u0111e Balasevi\u0107<\/strong>, with whose songs and music many generations grew up.
