Vlado Makelarski (Macedonian: Владо Макеларски; 1919–1993) was a Macedonian Partisan in World War II.[1]

Life

Makelarski was born in the village of Maqellarë, Albania in 1919 and completed schooling in nearby Debar, Yugoslavia, where he also worked as a waiter. In 1936, he moved with his parents to Skopje where, with his brother's influence, he joined the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia. His and his brother's apartment was used as a place for illegal communist meetings. In 1943, the apartment was raided with several arrested, while Makelarski was sentenced to death in absentia by the occupying Bulgarian authorities.[2]

Following the war, he became director of the ceramics factory "Yug" in Skopje. After the Tito-Stalin split, Makelarski took the side of the Comintern and was subsequently jailed at Goli Otok.[3]

Makelarski died on 29 January 1993.[4] He was a recipient of the Commemorative Medal of the Partisans of 1941.[5]
