Jaglika Adžić (Gojkovića dol,Plužine,Montenegro, thenKingdom of Yugoslavia, 1926 – Gojkovića dol, 6 June 1943) was a Serbian girl who was canonised as a saint by theSerbian Orthodox Church in 2017.
She was born as the second of eight children. She was baptized by the priest ofPiva, the martyr Jovan Sočica. InPlužine, in Gojkovića dola7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen, which was composed ofGermans andUstashi, on 6 June 1943, burned 60 citizens ofPivlja in a hut.[1] Among them were Jaglika's parents, Stoja and Krsto, and brothers - two-year-old Dušan, two-year-old Momčilo and eight-year-old Milorad. Jaglika was in a group of people from Pivlja who managed to escape and reach the forest, but when she heard the cries of her brothers, she returned and tried to join her family and the other victims. According to the testimony, the German officer ordered two soldiers to hold her hands and not allow her to enter the burning hut, having other intentions with her. She broke free and jumped into the fire. At the entrance to Plužine, the place where the tragedy happened, there is a plaque placed by SUBNOR Plužine.[2][3]
A kindergarten in Plužine is named after her, and a street inPodgorica is named after her.[4][5]
