Smail Smajo Ferović (Gusinje, 1874 - Skopje, 1929) was a merchant, Serbian komita during the liberation wars.
Biography
[edit]Smail was born in 1874 in a Muslim family in Gusinje. He comes from the family of Dizdar Omeragić from Gusinje, but bears the surname of his uncles - Ferović.[1] His ancestors were Orthodox Serbs, who were Islamized with the arrival of the Turks. He belonged to the Muslim generation that enthusiastically advocated for the liberation of their region Plava and unification with the Kingdom of Serbia.
In 1913, he joined Vojislav Tankosić's Komita company. It was about the "Rudnik Detachment" under the command of Duke Tankosić, which was formed on Banovo Brdo in Belgrade.[2] Previously, he was trained as a komita at the Chetnik school in Prokuplje. He distinguished himself during the Smajo war with heroism in several battles and earned the rank of sergeant. He was wounded in a skirmish with the enemy near Gornji Milanovac. Even before that year, Ferović helped the Serbian cause in Southern Serbia. From 1909, he occasionally moved to Albania with Tankosić and Puniša Račić. And since 1912, he continuously prepared the ground for the liberation of Southern Serbia with the Albanian leaders. He was particularly close to the famous Arbanas leader Issa Boljetinac.[3] As a Muslim, he managed to attract the local Muslims to help during the invasion of the Serbian army. His brothers in Kosovska Mitrovica did a great service to statesman Nikola Pašić, keeping his belongings during the occupation. He crossed with the Serbian army through Albania, during its retreat. It is considered that it is Ferović's great merit for the relatively peaceful crossing of the Albanian mountains, with the non-opposition of the Albanian authorities. His name is also associated with the Thessaloniki trial from 1917, when the court dealt with the conspiratorial "Black Hand". For his great merits, Smajó was awarded several orders, including the Star of Karađorđe, as well as a gold and silver medal for bravery. The National Assembly of the Kingdom of SHS recognized him as a national worker.
During the new Yugoslav kingdom, Ferović lived in Skopje. He was known as a "merchant of rentiers and rich people", who was engaged in exports. According to his political beliefs, he was a radical, and he always acted against Jamiet. He was a member of the Association of Chetniks "Petar Mrkonjić" in Skopje. The personal conflict and quarrel between Smaja Ferović and Đani-bey Alilović, also a rich Skopje resident, is well known.[4] Their misunderstanding led to the wounding with a revolver in the "Makedonija" tavern in Skopje, and the death of Giani Begova in February 1928. He himself died in the assassination carried out the following June 1929 in Skopje, where he was buried.
