He was executed by the Communist government of Yugoslavia in 1946, for treason. His main prosecutor was Milos Minic later minister of foreign affairs for the Communist government of Yugoslavia and ethnic Serb
His execution was a sticking point in Franco-Yugoslav relations and Charles de Gaulle refused to visit Yugoslavia on account of refusing to meet Mihailovich's murderer, Tito.
Although there are rumors that he was also the Time Magazine's Man of the Year in 1942, actually it was Joseph Stalin. Time did feature an article which boasted of Mihailovich's Chetniks' success at one point.
