stayed there until 1928. Under the pseudonym of Bosnić he returned to Yugoslavia and worked on setting up party organizations. Đaković actively opposed the January 6 Dictatorship of King Alexander I. Due to this, he was arrested in Zagreb together with Nikola Hećimović, secretary of the International Red Aid. They were executed on the Yugoslav-Austrian border on April 25, 1929. In an exaggerated attempt to escape responsibility, authorities have tried to conceal the murder. After exhumation, it was found that the victims were fired at a small distance, which proved to be a murder. Memory In summer 1937, Đaković's name was given to one of the battalions of the 129th International Brigade of the Spanish Republican Army. In 1942, in Belgium a military resistance movement unit made up of Yugoslav immigrants, mostly miners, originating from the Dalmatian border and the surrounding area of Imotski, also took his name. In his birthplace Slavonski Brod, the wagon factory where Đaković once worked was named after him in 1947. The company is still known as Đuro Đaković Grupa d.d. In Sarajevo, Alipaša Street was named after him from 1945 to the 1990s. His name was also given to the Bosnian Cultural Center, the main cinema hall in post-war Sarajevo. A memorial park with a statue was built nearby Alipaša Street in 1973, on a project by Ljubomir Denković, professor at the Academy of Art in Novi Sad, in a style that art historian and museum advisor Miloš Arsić called sculptures of natural vitalism. The memorial park was renamed in 2017 in honour of the 1st Corps of the RBiH Army. From 1945 to 1990 a street in Zagreb was named after him, Đuro Đaković Workers' Street (Radnička cesta Đure Đakovića). The name was shortened to Workers' Street (Radnička cesta) after the Croatian War of Independence. A street in Ljubljana was also renamed after him, Đaković Road (), but the original name Litostroj Road () was restored in 1993. In Belgrade, the street once named after him was later re-dedicated to Georges Clemenceau.
