...same tough stuff as was his late cousin, King Alexander, and unlike Alexander he has tried hard to placate the autonomy-minded Croats. Against the virtual certainty of losing Croatia and its neighbors if the German demands were resisted, Prince Paul advised their acceptance. His Premier, Dragisha Cvetkovitch, and Foreign Minister Aleksandar Cincar-Markovitch agreed. So, naturally, did the Croatian Vice Premier, Vladimir Matchek, and Father Fran Kulovetch, the Slovene leader. The Minister of War, General Petar Pesitch, was doubtful...
...stiffening was obtuse: it evidenced itself in rumors and unconfirmed statements-that Yugoslavia would accept nothing more than a non-aggression pact; that when trim, elegant German Minister to Belgrade Victor von Heeren strongly urged adherence to the Axis pact, and offered a plane to carry Premier Dragisha Cvetkovitch and Foreign Minister Aleksandar Cincar-Markovitch to Berlin to sign, those gentlemen let it be known they liked to travel by train; that the first full-dress meeting of the Yugoslav Crown Council since 1934 was called to discuss the angry anti-Nazi rumblings of the Serbian, Croatian, and Slovene clans...

By invitation Yugoslavia's Premier Dragisha Cvetko-vitch and Foreign Minister Dr. Aleksandar Cincar-Markovitch went to Adolf Hitler's mountain retreat for a three-hour conversation. If Herr Hitler ranted, he wasted his breath. Premier Cvetkovitch speaks no German; Hitler's Interpreter Dr. Paul Schmidt does not echo the Führer's screams. And Foreign Minister Cincar-Markovitch, who speaks fluent German, is known to be the most patient man in Yugoslavia. Herr Hitler said: Yugoslavia would be wise to join the Axis...
...League of Nations, that Macedonia had once been a part of the Roman Empire, that the Dalmatian Coast of Yugoslavia had once belonged to the Republic of Venice. Il Duce's probable objective: to force Greece's Premier-Dictator John Metaxas and Yugoslavia's Premier Dragisha Cvetkovitch to go to Rome for an "Italian Salzburg," at which Albania (as nominee for Italy) would get Dalmatia and at least a part of Epirus, Bulgaria would get a corridor to the Aegean Sea through Thrace, thereby cutting off Greece from her ally, Turkey, and softening her up for further...
