DAVIDOVIC, LJUBOMIR (1863— ), Yugoslav poli tician, was born at Vlaska in Serbia. In 190I he entered parlia ment and, the next year, with Liubomir Stojanovic, founded the Independent Radical party. In 1904 he became Minister of Edu cation, in 1905 President of the Skupstina and in 1909 mayor of Belgrade. In that year he was one of the Serbian witnesses at the Friedjung trial in Vienna, and soon afterwards Prof. Ma saryk laid before the Austrian delegation the papers on which the forgers had practised Davidovic's signature. In the Serbian Coalition cabinet, formed during the Austrian invasion in Nov. 1914, Davidovic again became Minister of Education, but in 1917 he resigned office and remained in active opposition to Pasic throughout the remainder of the World War. In 1919 he was elected chief of the newly formed Democratic party and was Yugoslav premier from August of that year until Feb. 1920. In later years he adopted a conciliatory attitude towards the Croats, and condemned the policy of extreme centralization. In July 1924 he again became Prime Minister at the head of a coalition of Democrats, Slovene Clericals and Bosnian Moslems, supported by the Croat peasants. He was, however, unable to maintain himself in office, and was replaced, in Oct. 1924, by a purely Radical Government under Pasic.
