Konrad Kolšek

Konrad Kolšek (23 October 1933 – 29 April 2009) was a Slovenian Yugoslav People's Army Colonel General who came to prominence during the Slovenian Independence War.

Slovenian Independence War 27 June 1991 is widely considered to mark the official beginning of the Slovenian Independence War (also often referred to as the Ten-Day War). Kolšek, an ethnic Slovene, chose to remain loyal to the Yugoslav People's Army instead of supporting the cause of Slovenian independence. For this, he was labeled a quisling and a traitor by the Slovenian media but was praised in what was to remain of the Yugoslav media.

He died on 29 April 2009 after being diagnosed with cancer.
