Biography[]
Pavle Denić was born on 16 April 1855 in Belgrade.[1] He was the nephew of general Jovan Belimarković[2] and was a member of a popular clan called Babadukić. He graduated from the Military Academy in 1875 as the second in rank. Immediately after that, he participated in the First Serbian-Turkish war in the battles on the Morava in 1876.[3]
He was appointed as the Minister of Construction in the government of Dimitrije Cincar-Marković and he served that role from 12 November 1902 until the May Coup.[4] After the departure of Sima Lozanić he was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs because of his knowledge of French language.[5] During the May Coup, the conspirators were looking for Denić with the intention to liquidate him.[6] After the coup, he retired from political life and in 1939 he died at the age of 83.
