ДЕЛАТНОСТ РАДИО-СТАНИЦЕ „КАРАЂОРЂЕ” У ЈЕРУСАЛИМУ (20. новембар 1942 – 27. март 1943)
THE OPERATION OF RADIO STATION ”KARAĐORĐE” IN JERUSALEM (20 November 1942 – 27 March 1943)

Summary/Abstract: The operation of radio station ”Karađorđe” in Jerusalem, which worked under British control, was influenced by Yugoslav internal conflicts (Chetniks - Partisans). For the same reason, the British – due to the international relations with the Soviet Union – banned the news on radio station ”Free Yugoslavia”. It was the Partisans-Chetniks conflict that made the British suspend the operation of this radio station because of, as they put it, ”complex” and ”confusing” situation in Yugoslavia, seeking a broader, Yugoslav approach. Mihailović’s intemperate speech in Lipovo village near Kolašin (28 February 1943) that the British Colonel Bailey (William Bailey) reported about, the suspension of the radio station (27 March 1943) and the suspension of the Yugoslav ”Military programme” on the Radio London (the end of April 1943) were the obvious manifestations of British attitude towards the Yugoslav royal government and its minister, General Draža Mihailović. As an example of historical irony, radio station ”Karađorđe” ceased to exist on 27 March 1943, on the same date when two years before (1941) the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared: ”Early this morning the Yugoslav nation found its soul.”
