Antun Fabris

Antun Fabris (Serbian Cyrillic: Антун Фабрис; 1864–1904), was a prominent Serbian journalist, essayist, publisher and politician from Dubrovnik.

The ancestors of Antun Fabris came to the mainland from the island of Korčula, where the famed navigator Marco Polo was born. After finishing basic studies in Dubrovnik he went on to Vienna, where he graduated in Slavic studies from the university there in 1889. He was a teacher first in Split and then Zadar. In 1895 he became the Editor of the prominent Dubrovnik newspaper. In 1902 he formed his own paper in Dubrovnik, the Srđ ("Срђ"), with his wife, and professor Luko Zore, the editor-in-chief, and the support of other Catholic Serbs, including Lujo Bakotić (1867-1941), the author of "Serb People in Dalmatia from the Fall of Venice to the Unification." It was a science and culture journal for Serb intellectuals in Dalmatia, published twice a month until 1908 in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts, with cooperation of many intellectuals across Dalmatia and several writers from Mostar, notably Aleksa Šantić, Jovan Dučić, Marko Car and Vladimir Ćorović, as well as some from Serbia, namely Jovan Jovanović Zmaj. The Srđ contributed greatly for the preservation of Dubrovnik's rich cultural and historical heritage. As a respected Serb journalist, he was a Deputy President of the Pan-Serb Journalist Congress in Belgrade on 14 and 15 October 1902.
