Mara Buneva (Cyrillic: Мара Бунева; 1902 – January 13, 1928) was a Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary,[1][2] a member of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, who assassinated Velimir Prelić, a former Serbian Chetnik commander and Yugoslav legal official of the Skopje Oblast. She shot herself in the chest, and subsequently died in a hospital a few hours after the attack, while Prelić died a few days later.
Today, in general Buneva is considered a heroine in Bulgaria,[3] while in North Macedonia she is regarded as a controversial Bulgarophile.[4][5] Her death is commemorated annually at the place where she shot herself on Vardar in Skopje.
