Jovan Babunski

Jovan Stojković, genannt Babunski (serbisch-kyrillisch Јован Стојковић – Бабунски; * 25. Dezember 1878 in Martolci bei Veles, Osmanisches Reich; † 17. Februar 1920 in Veles, heute Nordmazedonien) war ein serbischer Wojwode und eine führende Persönlichkeit der serbischen Tschetnik-Bewegung in Vardar-Mazedonien. In der serbischen Geschichtsschreibung wird Babunski als Nationalheld verehrt. In Nordmazedonien und Bulgarien hingegen gilt Babunski als ein Verräter, besonders wegen seiner zahlreichen Verbrechen an der Bevölkerung Makedoniens und seiner Brutalität gegenüber der bulgarischen Bevölkerung.
