ĐORĐE MARTINOVIĆ (ALSO SPELLED DJORDJE MARTINOVIĆ; SERBIAN CYRILLIC: ЂОРЂЕ МАРТИНОВИЋ; 1929 – 6 SEPTEMBER 2000) WAS A SERBIAN FARMER FROM KOSOVO WHO WAS AT THE CENTRE OF A NOTORIOUS INCIDENT IN MAY 1985, WHEN HE WAS TREATED FOR INJURIES CAUSED BY THE INSERTION OF A BOTTLE INTO HIS ANUS. THE MARTINOVIĆ AFFAIR, AS IT BECAME KNOWN, TURNED INTO A CAUSE CÉLÈBRE IN SERBIAN POLITICS. ALTHOUGH THE FACTS OF THE INCIDENT REMAINED IN DISPUTE FOR YEARS AFTERWARDS, IT PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN WORSENING ETHNIC TENSIONS BETWEEN KOSOVO'S SERB AND ALBANIAN POPULATION.
