Origins & Early Life

Sušak is a part of the city of Rijeka in Croatia, where it composes the eastern part of the city, separated from the city center by the Rječina river, which in former times served as an international border. Notable features of Sušak include the public beaches at Pećine and Glavanovo, along with the Tower Center shopping mall. Under the Habsburg monarchy, Rijeka and the surrounding area technically belonged to the Hungarian half of the Monarchy.

Career & Major Achievements

Sušak was a municipality separate from the city of Rijeka and since the 19th century, it experienced faster urbanisation and population growth. In 1924, Rijeka belonged to the independent Free State of Fiume, which had been created four years earlier under the Treaty of Rapallo, but in the Treaty of Rome the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes and Italy agreed to dissolve the free state.

Enduring Legacy & Impact

Instead Fiume was annexed to Italy as the Province of Fiume, and Sušak remained with the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later called Yugoslavia), but with joint administration of the port facilities. In 1930, an HKD Napredak branch was founded in Bakar.
