Summary/Abstract: This article has an aim to make a reconstruction of the arrest of Milivoj Trbić. He was arrested by the Administration of State Security on January 16, 1947 in the Prilep village Zrze. Two phases characterize the operation in Macedonia for locating and arrest of Trbic. The first phase is the period when the Department for Protection of the People was receiving incorrect reports from its contributors about the locations where Trbić could be. In the summer of 1946 was recruited a contributor with the idea that he could easily establish a contact with Trbić. This contributor submitted reports, but they were false. After that, began the formation of a new intelligence network which was supposed to find the exact or the approximate place of the hiding of Trbić. During the second phase, the Administration of State Security received a report from its contributor from the Prilep village Brailovo. According that report, in the beginning of January 1947 Petkana Arizankoska was arrested and she was the key examinee whose information was of great importance to the successful completion of the operation. In that way, in the middle of January 1947 was arrested Boge Veleski as a close contributor of Milivoj Trbić and he revealed the place where Trbić was hiding in the Prilep village Rilevo. Because of this, the operation continued in Rilevo, and finally, the Administration of State Security realized the epilogue in the village Zrze.
