Stevan Magazinović (Serbian Cyrillic:Стеван Магазиновић;Šabac, 1804 —Belgrade 16 February 1874) was a Serbian politician and judge.[1] He was minister and representative of the PrinceMiloš Obrenović, at a time when Serbia was an autonomous province within theOttoman Empire.[2]
Stevan was born in Šabac in 1804.[3][4][5] During theFirst Serbian Uprising before the Ottoman Turks, he escaped as a child toRuma, where he grew up and attended school.[3] He returned to Šabac, and since he had lost his father, his mother Marija remarried and changed her name to Magazinović, a surname he later adopted. He first graduated fromhigh school in Ruma[6] and worked in the judiciary as a clerk, learning a profession for several years without pay; his mother supported him all that time.[7] Later, he studied law. PrinceMiloš Obrenović selected him as a clerk in the Prince's Office for four years (1829-1833). Magazinović went on to serve in the police with the rank of Major, thanks to his mentor Miloš.[8] In 1852 he became President of the Supreme Court of Serbia, and as an elected member of the Council (Government) from 1854 to 1855 he wasMinister of the Interior.
Magazinović was appointed a representative of the Prince on 12 June 1858, at a time whenAlexander Karađorđević was forced to abdicate. Magazinović remained in office until 18 April 1859, when Prince Miloš I Obrenović returned to power. During this period, Stevan Magazinović was alsoMinister of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Serbia from 31 March 1858 until 30 January 1859, and again from 30 January 1859 until 6 April 1859.[9][10]
By his last will, Stevan Magazinović left all of his estate including several houses in vineyards to the Serbian state.[11][12]
