Svetislav Cvijanović

Svetislav Cvijanović (Županja, Slavonia, Austria-Hungary, 1877 - Belgrade, Serbia, Yugoslavia, 1961) was one of Belgrade's most prominent Serbian booksellers and publishers,[1] and a great patron of writers of the first half of the 20th century.[2] Publishers Svetislav B. Cvijanović, Gaetz Kohn (Geca Kon) and Gavrilo Dimitrijević were the three largest booksellers and publishers in Belgrade during that period.[3]

Cvijanović and his Belgrade publishing house were noted for printing the first works of war poet Milutin Bojić, Nobel-laureate Ivo Andrić,[4] Pavle Popović, Isidora Sekulić,[5] and other internationally-acclaimed writers and poets.

In 1928, he wrote a book of poetry entitled Granice (Borders)[6]
