Crimes Perpetrated by the Chetniks
Chetnik ideology revolved around the notion of a Greater Serbia within the borders of
Yugoslavia, to be created out of all territories in which Serbs were found, even if the
numbers were small. A directive dated 20 December 1941, addressed to newly
appointed commanders in Montenegro, Major Đorđije Lašić and Captain Pavle Đurišić,
outlined, among other things, the cleansing of all non-Serb elements in order to create a
Greater Serbia:
1. The struggle for the liberty of our whole nation under the scepter of His Majesty
King Peter II;
2. the creation of a Great Yugoslavia and within it of a Great Serbia which is to be
ethnically pure and is to include Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Srijem, the Banat, and Bačka;
3. the struggle for the inclusion into Yugoslavia of all still unliberated Slovene
territories under the Italians and Germans (Trieste, Gorizia, Istria, and Carinthia)
as well as Bulgaria, and northern Albania with Skadar;
4. the cleansing of the state territory of all national minorities and a-national
elements;
