Why is bibtex mangaling \v{S} into v?
the multibyte characters fail when bibtex is trying to take "the first letter" and just takes the first byte. Also bibtex's syntax for accent commands is {\v S}
not \v{S}
so you can use either of these forms:
Ognjen {\relax Š}
or Ognjen {\v S}
You are missing a brace, but beside this, add braces around the \v{S}. without it bibtex reads it as a "von":
