He served as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1939 to 1941. He developed the federalization of Yugoslavia through the creation of the Banovina of Croatia via the Cvetković–Maček Agreement with Croat leader Vladko Maček. He signed the Yugoslav accession to the Tripartite Pact on 25 March 1941. Two days later, on 27 March, a group of officers carried out a military coup, and arrested Dragiša Cvetković and other ministers. German authorities arrested him on two occasions and took him to Banjica concentration camp. He fled on 4 September 1944 for Bulgaria. He spent the rest of his life in Paris.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"15 January 1893","date":"1893-01-15"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Niš","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129259"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"18 February 1969","date":"1969-02-18"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Paris","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q90"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Serbia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q403","end":"1918"},{"text":"Yugoslavia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36704"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"journalist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1930187"},{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Yugoslav Radical Union","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116009"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P102"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Prime Minister of Yugoslavia (5 February 1939 – 27 March 1941)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1419999","start":"1939-02-05","end":"1941-03-27"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragi%C5%A1a_Cvetkovi%C4%87","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Dragiša Cvetković born?","a":"Dragiša Cvetković was born on 15 January 1893 in Niš."},{"q":"What positions has Dragiša Cvetković held?","a":"Positions held by Dragiša Cvetković include: Prime Minister of Yugoslavia (1939–1941)."}],"related":[{"name":"Vuk Drašković","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/vuk-draskovic"},{"name":"Slobodan Jovanović","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/slobodan-jovanovic"},{"name":"Dušan Simović","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/dusan-simovic"},{"name":"Milka Planinc","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/milka-planinc"},{"name":"Ante Marković","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ante-markovic"},{"name":"Milenko Vesnić","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/milenko-vesnic"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/dragisa-cvetkovic-8a8a929a55.jpg","width":212,"height":310,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown author Unknown author","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dragi%C5%A1a_Cvetkovi%C4%87_(1).jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Dragiša Cvetković","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragi%C5%A1a_Cvetkovi%C4%87","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q905523","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q905523","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Dragiša Cvetković (1).jpg by Unknown author Unknown author (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dragi%C5%A1a_Cvetkovi%C4%87_(1).jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Dragiša Cvetković, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
