Serbia under German occupation

A Serbian village church declined to comment on why it has a plaque honouring the WWII collaborationist leader Milan Nedic, who headed a puppet government during German occupation.

A hearing on the possible rehabilitation of WWII Prime Minister Milan Nedic was told that the armed forces in occupied Serbia answered directly to the Germans, not the premier.

Serbian anti-fascists filed criminal and misdemeanour complaints against members of far-right groups for making Nazi salutes at a rally to commemorate WWII-era puppet government premier Milan Nedic.

Serbians took to social networks to condemn Nazi saluting at a rally to commemorate WWII-era Prime Minister Milan Nedic, who led a puppet government during German occupation.

A rehabilitation hearing for Milan Nedic was told that the WWII prime minister considered himself to be the Serbian version of French collaborationist leader Marshal Petain, according to a Nazi official.

Anti-fascist activists have identified a previously little-known street named after Milan Nedic, head of Serbia’s World War II Nazi collaborationist government, in the town of Arandjelovac.

The Higher Public Prosecution in Belgrade has concluded that there is no basis to initiate criminal proceedings in the so-called Jajinci case.

A historian who testified at a rehabilitation hearing for Serbia’s WWII Prime Minister, Milan Nedic, said the collaborationist leader’s loyalty to the German regime was “absolute until the very end”.

The US State Department said the Nazi-backed Serbian government of Milan Nedic, whose descendants are seeking his legal rehabilitation, was responsible for most of the WWII-era deaths of Serbia’s Jews.

BELGRADE - There has been progress in the investigation into the Jajinci and New Belgrade arms cache cases, and the police have information about where the weapons might have come from, Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said Wednesday.
