Ante Mandić (Trieste, 2 June 1881 – Lovran, 15 September 1959) was a lawyer and Croatian and Yugoslavian politician. As a representative of the Yugoslav Committee in Saint Petersburg he organised a Yugoslav voluteer detachment in Odessa. He moved to London in 1917 to work as the secretary of the central office of the Yugoslav Committee in London. After returning to the newly Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia), Mandić pursued a career in law. After World War II surrender of Italy, he was appointed the president of the National Liberation Committee in Opatija and a delegate to the State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Croatia (ZAVNOH) and a member of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ) presidency. A year later, in 1944, he was appointed the head of the district National Liberation Committee for Istria and the Federal State of Croatia's Commission for War Crimes. In March–November 1945, Mandić was appointed a member of the royal regency council under the Tito–Šubašić Agreements.^[1]
