Death and legacy

Misita was killed while leading the victorious Battle of Loznica in 1941.

Josip Broz Tito's biographer Vladimir Dedijer described Misita's death as a great loss for the uprising.^[4] On 31 August 2008, the deputy speaker of the Serbian National Assembly, Božidar Delić of the Serbian Radical Party, dedicated a plaque to Misita in the Vuk Karadžić Square in Loznica.^[5] One of the people present was the man that had applied for the plaque to be installed, Božidar Panić, who had idolised Misita in his youth, and had lit a candle for him every year.^[6]

Misita is a maternal relation to Vojislav Šešelj, whose mother's maiden name was Danica Misita.^[7]
