About Slavko Cuvaj
- Baron Slavko Cuvaj de Ivanska (26 February 1851 – 31 January 1931) was a Croatian politician who was Ban (viceroy) of Croatia-Slavonia and royal commissioner for Austria-Hungary.He was appointed in January 1912, when anti-Habsburg sentiments were on the rise in Croatia, often manifesting in sympathies for Serbia and calls for creation of Yugoslavia.
- Cuvaj tried to curb those trends by series of decrees directed at curbing press freedom, limiting rights of assembly and local autonomy.
- This created backlash in the form of strikes and demonstrations, while some young radicals engaged in terrorism.
- Cuvaj himself was target of two assassination attempts in 1912, the first being conducted by group including young August Cesarec.
- Cuvaj was relieved from his post after Second Balkan War, receiving a title of baron for his services.
