(Details added on giška. However, despite wiki claiming the fail attempt in 1986, I've yet to see a date on other articles to verify this.) |
(added summary of the tape's contents. I could be wrong, but other than mentioning the Ustasa and fighting against them, I don't hear anything else regarding his death) |

Slava junaku (Serbian Cyrillic: Славу Јунаку, lit. Glory to the Hero) is a single by guslar Miladin Karličić, released some time in 1992. It is one of two known albums that is about Serbian Guard Commander Đorđe Božoviću Giška, who was killed in action a year prior to the release of the album.
Background
Đorđe Božoviću Giška was a founding member of the Serbian Guard along with Serbian Renewal Party leader Vuk Drašković and Branislav Matić Beli, who funded the guard. The guard itself would have its own issues since Drašković himself was anticommunist, and in August of 1991, Beli would be killed by an unknown assailant. Giška would have issues of his own as in 1986, the SDB ordered him to assainate Momčilo Đujić,[1] to which he refused to do and was promptly excommunicated. Giška was also was not fond of Arkan.[2]
Some time in September, Giška was fighting in Gospić. The army retreated, though did not take Giška with him. On the 15th of September, abandoned and surrounded by enemy forces, he called for help whenever he could, but to no avail. When he came out and called one last time, he was shot three times and died shortly after.[3]
On the back of the j-card, there is a quote left by Giška's mother. The album is a dedication to Giška for fighting to defend the Serbian people. It features no details surrounding the death of Giška.
Release
Slava junaku was published some time in 1992 by SRPSKA GARDA Beograd. While no label is technically attached to the album, the guard's leader Vuk Drašković was an established author, and it is possible that he had some involvement in getting the album published. However there is nothing to support this claim.
