The date of death is most likely 16 April 2011 (Funeral held on April)

Only one report says that he was born in 1902, and other reports say that he was born in 1901, also his monument in the cemetery says that he was born in 1901.

Do we have a birth record and/or a baptismal record for him? What does it say about it birth year?

@futurist Probably there is, however no one has investigated his case, his documents such as his identity card and tombstone confirm his birth year as 1901. Might be worth checking his case since it's a national record, but it's under 110 so I haven't tried anything yet. His family certainly has an identity card, a birth and marriage certificate, but not the original birth record because he was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Latinović only lived in Belgrade for the last 25 years, so documents from his early life are not available on the Digital Archive of Belgrade because he lived in Belgrade since 1995...

Digital Archive of Belgrade has been functioning since recently and includes civil registrations before 1952.../ https://digitalni.arhiv-beograda.org/login.php

Sadly, Djurdja Stojković is false and inflated claim, and is not the oldest known living person in Serbia as she was most likely born on 20 October 1922 (NOT 1908 or 1913 as previously claimed by her son). Her identity card and many other documents confirm that she was born in 1922 and her first registered child was a son born on 22 June 1945,(perhaps her daughter is the oldest child and was born probably in December 1939, NOT 1929, as her son Miroslav very slyly claimed in order to convince that she was born in 1908), and the last child is also a son born in 1969. Later, her son Miroslav (62) admitted to me that Djurdja was born in 1922 and that at the suggestion of certain journalists he lied that she was born in 1908, later in 1913 in order to attract as much attention as possible from the media and humanitarian organizations, and to draw public attention to the conditions in which the family currently lives Stojković.

Below is a photo sent to me by her son Miroslav Stojković, who admits that he received personal benefits in the amount of several thousand euros from humanitarian organizations or individuals who paid money into his account...

Therefore, the case was magnified for the reason that it would attract as much attention as possible from the media and humanitarian organizations, and therefore the humanitarian aid would be much greater...

New updates on Djurdja Stojković, the last false or exaggerated claim from Serbia.

Humanitarian aid continues:

Yes, I confidently claim that she is the last known living person in Serbia and that an exaggerated or false claim will never appear in Serbia in the future, taking into account that birth registration has been greatly standardized in the last few decades.

All people who were born after the Balkan wars belong to the group of verifiable cases. Until now, all historical claims from Serbia are verified and the results showed that only two were credible, and taking into account that there are no supercentenarians who were born and died in Serbia, but both were born outside the borders of Serbia, only Veronika Žilinski was born on the territory of present-day Serbia but died in Hungary, so there are no people from Serbia who were born and died within the borders of Serbia, the oldest documented such person was Kostantka Momirović (1900-2009), aged 109 years, 122 days.

(The second oldest person ever born on the territory of Serbia (behind Veronika) is Bedriska Adamickova, who lives in the Czech Republic and should be turn 110 in October 2023)

You might want to rephrase that.

@930310 These are the facts and you will see in just the next ten years that there will be no false claims from Serbia, it is simply not possible, the birth registration system is at a high level and there is no chance.

Even Djurdja's remark would not be considered a false claim, considering that it was only her son's claim due to media attention and the attraction of humanitarian aid.

There is a possibility that a woman born in 1909 who is listed as the oldest Serbian pensioner appears, however it could be Safete Ibrahimović (10 May 1909) who lives in Switzerland and whose 114th birthday has been confirmed.

The fact is that she has a son who is not more than 60 years old, that her year of birth was increased due to a pension during Yugoslavia before going to Switzerland, but her case was not investigated because the full place of birth is unknown.

The existence of birth registration doesn't prevent people from accidentally inflating their age, or deliberately exaggerating it to get an early pension. You've even said yourself that you've exaggerated your age in documents in order to retire a few years early, so the motive for this still clearly exists even in younger generations. While birth records definitely make it easier for people to keep track of their ages, not everyone will even believe what their birth record says - you often see alleged SCs claiming that their birth record supports a later birthdate because they were "registered late", even though it doesn't make sense. 

Birth registration can increase the possibility of accidental sibling swaps, so it certainly won't lead to every age claim being true. The standardization of birth registration in Serbia will mainly make it easier to prove or disprove claims, but could also somewhat improve the reliability of claims. 

@mendocino Yes, but people who were born in the 1920s, 1930s or 1960s were entered in the birth register a few weeks later, not 50 years later as was the case in many historical cases. As for early retirement, only talented people can do it, and there are very few of them nowadays. I'm not saying that there will never be an exaggerated claim, but it will be much less than before, maybe one case in 50 years. By the end of the 21st century, one or two false claims may occur in Serbia in the 2060s. When we talk about the cases from Serbia, there are still several tens of people who were born before 1920, so in the next decade there will be evidence of people who were born in the decade of the 1920s, of which one exaggerated case or none may appear, time will tell, no I can say for sure, but.I am sure that this number must be much lower than in the decade of the 1890s on a global level, not only in Serbia (I'm talking about the exaggerated claims of people who claimed to be born in the decade of the 1890s and people who will claim to have been born in the decade of the 1920s)...

Zivan Popovic, the oldest known living man in Serbia, sadly died on 12 January 2024 at 10:10 am at the age of 106 years, 347 days, just 18 days before his 107th birthday. He was born in the village of Latvica, municipality of Arilje, Zlatibor District, Serbia, where he spent his entire life.

Ms. Milka Bauković, OLP in Serbia, turned 110 y.o. today 5 February 2024

Happy Birthday Mrs. Bauković!

Milka Bauković, Serbia’s Oldest Person, Celebrates 110th Birthday

Milka Bauković, a resident of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, and the nation’s oldest living resident, is celebrating her 110th birthday today, 5 February.

Bauković was born Milka Ercegovac in the village of Papići, Austria-Hungary (now Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia), on 5 February 1915. Her father, Mile Ercegovac, and her mother, Inđija, raised her alongside her younger brother, Branko, who was five years her junior.

In 1940, on the brink of the Second World War, Milka married Dušan Bauković, a skilled hatter from Okučani. Their wedding took place at the church in Jasenovac. After Dušan’s untimely death on 8 May 1945—the final day of the war—his grave remains unlocated. Milka inherited his trade, continuing the legacy of his craft.

Together, Milka and Dušan had two children: a son, Nebojša, born in 1941, who tragically passed away from a heart attack in 1987; and a daughter, Dušanka Božić, born in 1945. Dušanka was born three months after her father’s death, never having had the chance to meet him.

In 1983, she married again, to Sava Radivojević. They got married in Belgrade, where they moved in 1990. She was widowed in 2003.

Bauković is only the third confirmed supercentenarian in Serbian history. The first two were Jelisaveta Veljković (1904–2016), the oldest person ever in Serbia, who was also born in what is now Croatia, and Tamara Krutikov (1912–2022), born in present-day Ukraine. Like Bauković, both Veljković and Krutikov spent their later years in Belgrade, where they also passed away.

Bauković has been the nation’s oldest known living resident since Krutikov’s passing in July 2022.

Milka Bauković, Serbia’s Oldest Person, Dies at 110

Milka Bauković Radivojević, the oldest living person in Serbia, passed away in Belgrade on 23 January, at the age of 110 years, 352 days.

Bauković was born Milka Ercegovac in the village of Papići, Austria-Hungary (now Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia), on 5 February 1915. Her father, Mile Ercegovac, and her mother, Inđija, raised her alongside her younger brother, Branko, who was five years her junior.

In 1940, on the brink of the Second World War, Milka married Dušan Bauković, a skilled hatter from Okučani. Their wedding took place at the church in Jasenovac. After Dušan’s untimely death on 8 May 1945—the final day of the war—his grave remains unlocated. Milka inherited his trade, continuing the legacy of his craft.

They got married in Belgrade, where they moved in 1990. She was widowed in 2003.

After the death of Ms.Bauković, the title of oldest (known) living person in Serbia was taken by 106-year-old Živorad Marković (born on 9 October 1919) of New Belgrade, Belgrade, and the title of oldest (known) living woman in Serbia was taken over by 105-year-old Dobrila Dragojerac (born on 30 September 1920) of Pančevo, South Banat District.

Ms. Dobrila Dragojerac, the oldest known living woman in Serbia, sadly passed away in Pančevo, South Banat District, Serbia, on 2 March 2026, at the age of 105 years, 153 days.

She was born in Dolovo, near Pančevo, South Banat District, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now Serbia), on 30 September 1920.

On 23 January 2026, following the death of almost 111-year-old Milka Bauković, she became the oldest known living woman in Serbia.

At the time of her death, she was the third-oldest known living person in Serbia, behind 106-year-old Živorad Marković, and 105-year-old Vukosav Đorđević.

He died in 1947, I can't edit my post.

So, since Simo Ivosevic died in 1947 and Radivoje Stevanovic died in 2010, they were not the oldest living men in Serbia in 2022, which is when they were thought to have died.
