Nedić's Serbia (Nedićeva Srbija) is the popular name for the Serbia under german ocupation, and government of Milan Nedic (government of national salvation) that collaborated with the occupiers and existed between 1941 and 1944, on the teritory of parts of today's Serbia.
Geopolitical situation
After the quick defeat of the Kingdom of Jugoslavia, and the carveup of it's territories the terrirory of what is known as Inner Serbia (Uža Srbija) fell under the direct control of the German forces. Per usual practices with occupied territories, the Germans tried to install a collaboracionist govermnent which will also be a partner in providing security as well as implement the compatible laws and practices. Serbia was then surrounded by: NDH in the west, Italian territories in the south, Vojvodina was under the direct control of Germans and Hungarians.
Government of National Salvation
German occupiers in Belgrade came to an idea that for stability of Serbia and German control would benefit from a puppet Serbian government under authority of German occupation forces. Hitler agreed, under conditions that he required.
First suggestion was that the government be formed by Dimitrije Ljotic, but he refused and suggested general Milan Nedic. Nedic was reluctant to organize the puppet government, especially because family tragedy has struck him, saying also that he was too old, but eventually he was persuaded to take this ungrateful role, having interests of Serbs, who lost a quoter of population in the WWI in mind. He also had in mind the appaling genocide of Serbs that was underway in the neighbouring NDH, and need to take care of 600,000 Serbian refugees that were fleeing slaughter in NDH, as well as refugees from Slovenia that were granted hospitality in Serbia (which included Milan Kucan, who was a child at a time).
