Abstract
In this article the author demonstrates the significance of the consultation by political and military leaders in the people's liberation movement in Yugoslavia, which was held at the end of September 1941 in the small town of Stolice in the liberated territory of Serbia. The author systematically analyzes a number of basic problems regarding the raising of an armed Insurrection in Yugoslavia during 1941 and the way they were handled in Stolice, and then he points out the main conclusions emerging from the Consultation: the creation of united and solid military organizations, which is seen in the formation of military leadership in various parts of Yugoslavia, with the Supreme Command at its head; the strengthening of discipline and morale in partisan units; the issue of broadening the political base for the people's liberation movement; the question of forming new, people's governments in liberated territories; and issues related to the organization of the Yugoslav Communist Party.
The author concludes that in carrying out the decisions reached at the Consultation in Stolice, which was directed by Josip Broz Tito, long-range results were attained in the development of the armed uprising in Yugoslavia. This is seen first of all in the resolution of the previously mentioned issues of military and political organization, which gave the people's liberation movement a clear and stable physiognomy: from partisan actions and an insurrection movement it developed into a lasting liberation and revolutionary war.
