The article features an interview with Dr. Vladimir Šumanović, who discusses his scholarly work on the involvement of Serbian Orthodox clergy in the Chetnik movement in Dalmatia during World War II. His research, based on extensive archival materials, reveals the complex relationship between these clergymen and the Chetnik organization, showing how they influenced local political dynamics in conjunction with both Italian and German authorities at the time. Dr. Šumanović illustrates how the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) played a critical role in shaping Chetnik policies in the region.

In the discussion, Dr. Šumanović delves into the implications of his findings, stating that the clergy not only participated in the organization but also actively contributed to its political strategies and public image. He explains how the actions and allegiances of these religious figures affected the populace's lives in Dalmatia, particularly in the context of the broader conflicts that characterized World War II in the region. The examination of the clergy's roles also poses questions about post-war narratives and the treatment of involved individuals after the war.

Dr. Šumanović’s work, published in a local Croatian academic journal, aims to shed light on a contentious part of historical memory regarding the conflict in Dalmatia. His insightful research challenges conventional perceptions of the Serbian Orthodox clergy during this tumultuous period and calls for a re-evaluation of their legacy in contemporary discussions about national identity and historical accountability in Croatia.
