I HAVE TO SAY THAT AND COMMENTS MADE THAT THE CHETNIKS COLABORATED WITH GERMAN FORCES IS PURELY FICTIOUS.WHY DO I SAY THIS BECAUSE MY FATHER WAS A CHETNIK SOLDIER AND WOULD TELL ME HOW THEY FOUGHT AGAINST THE GERMANS AND WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY A GERMAN SOLDIER.THE PROOF WAS THERE WITH A PIECE OF HIS SKULL MISSING.THE PARTISANS, HE TOLD ME WOULD ASSIST THE GERMANS IN HELPING FIND CHETNIKS TO KILL THEM. I WISH HE WAS STILL ALIVE TO ELABORATE MORE ON THIS ISSUE BUT UNFORTUNATELY HIS TIME TO PASS HAS COME. THERE IS SOME MATERIAL IN HIS SUITCASE THAT HE BROUGHT TO CANADA WITH I BELIEVE, BUT I DO NOT WISH TO CREATE BATTLES I JUST LIKE THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD.

Hvala brato, you are a good man putting Mihailovic and the Chetniks to some kind of justice. There is still a lot of tension and hate out there not only in Serbia but in Germany and all over the Balkans. I believe although you should not forget the past, we as humans should learn to forgive people of different nations for the tragedies that their ancestors were involved. Instead of creating more hate, anguish and conflict, it would be a beautiful thing if humans actually fulfilled the ideal and learnt from the errors of their predecessors. I hope with all my heart that this will be so. Most importantly paying tribute to our family and soldiers who went out in fear to give their lives for their nation and us, their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thanksyou again brother, this is good material I hope more people will read. I will show my family in Belgrade.
