Konspiracija (secret society)

Konspiracija (Serbian Cyrillic: Конспирација, "conspiracy") was a secret society that sought to overthrow the Yugoslav regency.

The board, according to a document, included Dragiša Vasić, Mladen Žujović and Momir Nikolić, and contributors on military questions, Antonije Antić, Velimir Vemić and Staniša Kostić.[1] According to lieutenant Staniša Kostić, several members of the Serbian Cultural Club (SKK) were founders of the conspiracy group.[2] The organization was modeled after the Black Hand, including the recruitment process.[3] Antonije Antić and Velimir Vemić, two former Black Hand members, gave instructions on how to establish secret 5-men groups within the Yugoslav Army (VJ).[3] It would have easy approach to higher military leaders via already existing channels between leaders of opposition and friendly military personnel.[1]

The organization opposed the Yugoslav accession to the Tripartite Pact on 25 March 1941. Two days later, the Yugoslav coup d'état was successful.
