Šop-Đokić

Šop-Đokić (Serbian Cyrillic: Шоп-Ђокић) is a Serbian family from Leskovac, whose family house in the town, built in the first half of the 19th century, is a cultural monument, protected by the state. The house is one several old buildings in the Balkan style. Kostadin Šop-Đokić was the president of the board for building and renovating churches in the municipality of Leskovac in 1931. Another member of the family, Milan Šop-Đokić, was an assassin working for the UDBA (secret police of Yugoslavia), notable for the murder of émigrée Sava Čubrilović, the editor of Srpska borba. The family has retrieved some of its formerly owned property taken away by the state, and is looking to retrieve the family house, which is today a symbol of Leskovac and the location of the city tourist organization.
