[edit] Biography

A pretty complete and correct article/biography can be found in Croatian Wikipedia.

http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vjekoslav_(Maks)_Luburi%C4%87

Luburic was a Catholic croatian from Herzegovina, not an Orthodox from Montenegro. The article mentions only Jews as victims of Jasenovac, while the majority of the victims were Orthodox Serbs (mostly because they were Orthodox Serbs). Luburic being an Orthodox is an oxymoron (something like calling Himmler a Jew). I am surprised that this article made it to the Wikipedia because it twists or hides the truth.

Yeah, he was a Roman Catholic. However, it's pretty possible that his ancestors from Montenegro (which is geographically close to Herzegovina) were Greek Orthodox Serbs (Luburic is traditionally a Montenegrin surname). His ancestors were most likely converted to Roman Catholism (something that was very common in Herzegovina).

Vjekoslav Luburic was born in the village Humac near Ljubuski, that is now located in Bosnia and Hercegovina.He was a Roman Catholic and ethnic Croat. Population in Ljubuski municipality is over 90% ethnically Croatian. His family lived there for several generations. There are many last names that are common for both Orthodox and Catholic as well as for Serbs and Croats. All speculations about Croats from Herzegovina being ethnic Serbs or Montenegrians are just theories without any strong proofs.
