The Partisans are believed to have killed some 80,000 people throughout Serbia between 1944-1946, according to figures from the Contemporary History Institute. Following the decision to make the documents on the execution of Chetnik leader Draza Mihailovic available to the public and opening the dossier on those who were killed for being on the losing side in World War II, the Institute states that about 80,000 people were executed in Serbia in this period. “80,000 people executed after World War II” Their graves were usually kept secret. Institute Director Momcilo Pavlovic told B92 that these people were killed just because they were not members of the anti-fascist movement. “There are people who were not convicted of war crimes by any court, while, at the same time, the majority were those who no court could have found guilty, because they were not members of any resistance movement, or because they were simply passive during the war, and the majority of people in Serbia fell into this category,” Pavlovic said. “These were mostly the best known people of these qualifications—leaders of the old regime, reactions and such like—but those were people who were considered part of the elite,” he said.
