Early life

Parović was born on 25 March 1903 in the village Biograd near Nevesinje. His parents Petar and Gospava were poor peasants. Both of his parents died in his early years. His mother died first while his father Petar was killed by soldiers of Austria-Hungary during the First World War. After death of his parents Parović went to Vinkovci where he was educated as shoemaker.[1] His younger brother Rade was taken to Gradiška.

Spanish Civil War

Parović was commissar of the XIII International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War.[2] According to communist published works, Parović died on 7 July 1937 in the Battle of Brunete, heading his brigade during one assault toward well-defended enemy positions.[3] Vlajko Begović knew the exact position of his death.[4] Begović was known as executor of the Communist Party enemies. In his 1990 interview to Politika, Vladimir Dedijer stated that Peko Dapčević openly spoke about the possible role of Begović in the murder of Blagoje Parović.[5]

Legacy

The central square in Nevesinje, his birth town, is named after Parović. A street in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, Novi Sad, the capital of Serbia's northern province Vojvodina, and Niš, the third largest city in the country, are named after Parović.
