PRVI POZNATI POZDERCI – RODONAČELNICI PORODICE
THE FIRST KNOWN MEMBERS OF THE POZDERAC FAMILY – ANCESTORS

Summary/Abstract: The oldest known members of the Pozderac family, through their social engagement, shaped the history of the city of Cazin between two centuries. They demonstrated a high degree of political realism, an understanding of broader social movements, and a keen awareness of the relationship between local and wider socio-political dynamics, which became the defining paradigm for all subsequent prominent members of this family in their actions and perception of socio-political reality. Therefore, it is not surprising that members of the Pozderac family, in their socio-political engagement, endured multiple political transitions, acting as active participants in history and remaining at the center of social events. In doing so, they contributed to the development of the local community from which they originated and with which they continuously maintained a strong connection. The earliest member of the Pozderac family provided the initial momentum, crucial for the family’s further development, through a well-thought-out political strategy, while simultaneously working intensively on the advancement of the local community. Today, in Cazin, next to an old and forgotten tombstone, two national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina–the House of Nurija Pozderac and the Town Mosque–stand as silent witnesses to the lives of the first members of the Pozderac family.
