Summary/Abstract: The article is concerned with the problem of Serbian Genocide committed by the Ustaša in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during the World War II. In 1941 Ante Pavelić’s government began to pursue the policy of discrimination, harassment and assassination of the Serbs. There were several laws, which were racial by nature and deprived the Serbs of common civil rights. The Ustaša extended rhetoric against Serbian population among the Croats by organizing rallies during which they pushed for the liquidation of the Serbs. The Serbian Orthodox Church was persecuted too. There were many concentration and death camps on NDH soil. The authors reason that the Serbian Genocide in NDH was one of the main reasons of the bloody Breakup of Yugoslavia and of the continuing Serbo-Croatian hostility.
