Adam Pribićević (Serbian Cyrillic: Адам Прибићевић; Kostajnica, Austria-Hungary, 24 December 1880 – Windsor, Ontario, Canada, 7 February 1957) was a Croatian Serb publisher, writer, and politician.

Biography

Pribićević was born in Kostajnica, to a well-known family of Serbs of Croatia.[1] After graduating from gymnasium (high school) in Sremski Karlovci, he studied law at Zagreb. He began his political activities by joining the Srpska Samostalna Stranka (Independent Serbian Party). He published articles in the periodicals Srbobran and Srpsko kolo. A supporter of the social philosophy of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Adam emphasized the role of peasants in the social development of Serbia. Along with a group of Serbian politicians from Croatia, Adam was arrested during a mounting conflict between the Croatian-Serbian Coalition and the Austro-Hungarian authorities.[2] It became apparent that the evidence in the earlier trial had been fabricated with the foreknowledge of the Austro-Hungarian authorities.[2]

After his release, Adam joined the editorial staff of Srpsko kolo. In 1913 on a visit to Belgrade Adam forewarned Nikola Pašić about a compromise between the Croatian-Serbian Coalition in Habsburg Croatia and the Austrian government. He also worked as an editor of the periodical Narod. In 1924 he settled in Kosovo, where he was active in the Independent Democratic Party, founded by his brother Svetozar Pribičević. He also edited the periodical Reč. After the death of his brother Svetozar, Adam was elected to parliament in 1936. In 1938 he became chairman of the Samostalna Demokratska Stranka (Independent Democratic Party).[3]

Between the two world wars, he held many important posts in Yugoslavia. He was a jurist, journalist, and political activist who, with his brother Milan, became "the voice of return to the virtues of rural life."

His books were banned by the Yugoslav communist government in 1947.[4]
