It had 270 local groups with a total of 300,000 members and was headed by the Chetnik leader Puniša Račić .

history

The SRNAO was founded on December 13, 1922 by Greater Serbian students from the University of Belgrade . The SRNAO was set up by Svetolik Savić (1875-1944), the editor of the Balkan journal , which supported the Radical People's Party.

Especially in the early 1920s, the SRNAO acted in unity with the nationalist to fascist Organizacija Jugoslavenskih Nacionalista (Organization of Yugoslav Nationalists), ORJUNA for short.
