Srdan Radov Aleksic (Serbian Cyrillic: ????? ????? ???????; 9 May 1966 – 27 January 1993), nicknamed Srdo, was a Bosnian Serb amateur actor, prospective swimmer, and soldier in the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) during the Bosnian War.
He saw his neighbour, an ethnic Bosniak, being harassed by a group of VRS soldiers, whom he then tried to stop; the soldiers turned to Aleksic, beating him with their rifle butts until he fell into a coma.
He died a week later at the hospital.
He has received several posthumous awards for his act, viewed of as deeply heroic in a time of bloody war.
A documentary about his life, Srdo, was made by RTS in 2007.
