Summary/Abstract: Initial measures in introducing German economic policy in Serbia were taken as early as 1941, during the April war, and had a dual purpose: to alleviate unfavorable consequences arising for German economy by the breakup of Yugoslav economic unity, and to create a basis for economic exploitation. The introduction of German economic policy was conducted by German military headquarters and military economic institutions since it was undertaken while Serbia a war zone. Before war operations had ceased in Yugoslavia, the Germans called a meeting with the allies in Vienna, attempting to gain approval for the situation created by the breakdown of Yugoslavia and secure economic benefits for themselves in certain parts of the country.
