History

World War II

On 4 July 1941, the PKS established the Main Staff of the National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Serbia.
In 1941, the PKS greatly aided the communists in western Serbia. Communist Party members were sent to areas in need of political activity. The Central Committee for Liberated Territory was established in the short-lived Republic of Užice in western German-occupied Serbia. The reformed Provincial Committee for Serbia, set up in November 1942, established 12 new county- and district committees.
