Dragiša "Buca" Pavlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгиша Буца Павловић; 5 October 1943 – 9 September 1996) was a Serbian and Yugoslav communist politician, known primarily as one of the top figures who publicly opposed Slobodan Milošević and tried to prevent his rise to power. Pavlović was Chairman of the City Committee of the League of Communists of Belgrade. The situation in Kosovo, which does not improve with the desired and promised speed, creates a dangerous atmosphere where every word spoken against Serbian nationalism is perceived as nationalism. Passionate words can only bring fire.
