Aleksandar "Aco" Apolonio (sometimes written Apolonijo) was the President of the self-declared Dubrovnik Republic founded in October 1991. Apolonio was a resident of Dubrovnik and in the past had served as a public prosecutor there.
During the trial of Slobodan Milošević at the ICTY, a witness had described Apolonio as a Croat, but the Serbian nationalist leader Vojislav Šešelj said as a witness that Apolonio was a Catholic Serb (see Serbs in Dubrovnik). Apolonio only described himself as "Ragusan".
