Ој Србијо, Мила Мати - Anthem of the Government of National Salvation

The Government of National Salvation (Serbian: Влада народног спаса, romanized: Vlada narodnog spasa, (VNS); German: Regierung der nationalen Rettung), also referred to as Nedić's government (Недићева влада, Nedićeva vlada) and Nedić's regime (Недићев режим, Nedićev režim), was the second Serbian collaborationist puppet government (after the Commissioner Government) established on the German-occupied territory of Serbia during World War II. Appointed by the German Military Commander in Serbia, it operated from 29 August 1941 to 4 October 1944. Unlike the Independent State of Croatia, the regime in the occupied Serbia was never accorded status in international law and did not enjoy formal diplomatic recognition on the part of the Axis powers.

The regime was tolerated by many Serbs and even actively supported by a part of the population, and was unpopular with a majority of Serbs who supported one of the two factions which at first were perceived as connected to the Allied Powers, the Yugoslav Partisans or the royalist Chetniks. The Prime Minister throughout was General Milan Nedić. The Government of National Salvation was evacuated from Belgrade through Budapest to Kitzbühel in the first week of October 1944 before the German withdrawal from Serbia was complete.

Lyrics:

Ој Србијо, мила мати,
Увек ћу те тако звати
Мила земљо, мили доме
На срцу је слатко твоме

Срећно живет ко у рају,
Где милине вечно трају
У теби ћу срећно тек
Проводити овај век.

Прости деци, мати мила,
Што су тебе увредила;
Синци ће се поправити,
Грозне сузе за те лити,

Јер признају грехе тешке
И кају се за погрешке.
Живот и крв даће сви
Да се опет дигнеш ти.

Подигни се мати мила,
Да нам будеш што си била,
Јер си тужно робовала,
Дуго сузе проливала.

Сунце ти се већ родило,
Које ти је зашло било.
На криоцу свагда твом
Утеха је срцу мом.
