Ranko Matejić (Serbian Cyrillic: Pанко Матејић) was a freedom-fighter (revolutionary) in his early youth during the Frist and Second Serbian Uprising .
Biography
editLater, Ranko Matejić became a member of the Defenders of the Constitution. He was part of the leadership of the Kragujevac district, then the capital of Serbia. The first Serbian constitution, the Sretenje Constitution, was proclaimed in Kragujevac on 15 September 1835. It was one of the most liberal European constitutions of its time, influenced by the earlier French and Belgian constitutions. In 1838, the leadership of the Kragujevac district was established based on the provisions of that constitution. Elected were chief Milutin Đurđević, assistant chief Ranko Matejić, treasurer Jovan Tripković and scribe Simeon Vesović.[1]Their work was affected by "the lack of officials and political conflict between them and Obrenović". Soon, Belgrade became the state capital in 1841.
Councillors Ranko Matejić and Antonije Majstorović were two supporters of Alexander Karađorđević who wanted to stage a Coup d'état and restore the rightful heir (Karađorđe dynasty) to the throne. The attempt failed and the two were imprisoned for a short time[2]. On 14 September 1842 Prince Alexander was installed on the throne and no sooner the two -- Matejić and Majstorović -- were immediately released.
