Summary/Abstract: The biography of Vladimir Velebit is very interesting and challenging for the scholar: a man from an affluent family, a former judge, a lawyer who had clients from the Reich and Italy, a man who joined the illegal Communist Party of Yugoslavia that advocated the dictatorship of the proletariat and who in a few years won the personal confidence to the party leader. He was one of the leading figures in what the historians from the Federal UDB (State Security Service) in 1958 called „Glaise’s Action” - establishment of contacts between NOVJ (Yugoslav National Liberation Army) ) and the Germans in autumn of 1942 that resulted in the exchange of prisoners, a series of local truces and the establishment of a neutral zone for negotiations Pisarovina that functioned until January 1945.
