Hi Sergej - hope these are better. Visited my mother and gave her information that both you and Danica have supplied. She is apprehensive about returning to the village given her previous experience which was in fact almost 20 years ago. I however am adamant that I will visit my grandfathers roots. Have you any idea why she would have been stopped by the Police in the village? She does now, given your information agree that it was the village mentioned and recognised the place from what my grandfather had told her. My grandfather was always proud that he had fought with Mihailovic and said that he had felt betrayed with what Winston Churchill had done, by ignoring their plight. Could this connection with Mihailovic and the frosty reception at the village have something in common?
Once again I thank you for your time.......Andy
After WWII the Socialists of Tito were in charge in what used to be Yugoslavia. The Partisans were (kinda) favoured by the new regime in those day's and the other side Chetniks were prosecuted. I wont go in to it too much since its politics. But needless to say that if a village was the scene of fighting and struggle it would have been prohibited to enter there freely. That could be one of the reasons. But then again we Serbs can be weird from time to time and it was just nothing besides some Cops with a bad hair day 
Ill take a look at the cards later,tonight.
Regards,
Sergej

I have spoken with my mother about what my grandfather called his "Glory Day". It was a celebration of a Saint which took place in November. Any idea which Saint this may have been?
