Božidar Maksimović (Serbian Cyrillic: Божидар Максимовић; 1 March 1886 – 18 July 1969) was a Serbian and Yugoslav lawyer and politician[1] who performed various ministerial roles in the Government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, such as minister of the interior, minister without portfolio, minister of justice and minister of education.[2]
Initially, he was a member of the People's Radical Party[2] and later he joined the Yugoslav National Party.[3]
Due to his "strong hand" policy, he was nicknamed "Boža Stock". He forcibly suppressed workers' strikes and student demonstrations. He was considered a court radical and brutally dealt with opponents of the monarchy and the centralist system of the state.[4]
