Who is Ivan Bušić Roša?

Ivan Bušić-Roša was a Croatian hajduk from the Imotska krajina.

He was born in the village of Vinjani Donji near Imotski to a devout Roman Catholic family in the 18th century; his exact birthdate is not certain. As a hajduk, he fought against the Ottoman Empire, traveling along Dalmatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina with other resistance fighters.

In 1977, Croatian dissident and Bušić clan member Bruno Bušić wrote a book Ivan Bušić-Roša, Hajdučki Harambaša, detailing the life and legend of Ivan Bušić-Roša. Today, there are many traditional folk-songs and gusle poems dedicated to Roša.

He was killed in village of Ilijino polje.
