The paper deals with attempts of organizing anti-partisan or Chetnik units in the Primorska region during the Second World War. Such units viewed their operational instructions as emanating from the command center in the HQ of General Mihailović, the commander of the Yugoslav army in the homeland, as opposed to the exiled government in London and the left-wing, communist (partisan) opposition. The paper deals with discerning the initiatives and activities of the politicians of Slovenia’s coastal region (Primorska), which ultimately decided not to join the partisans, and which actively sought out to contact other anti-revolutionary political circles operating mainly in central Slovenia. Included in this operational framework is also an attempt to establish a small Chetnik unit in the Panovec forest near Gorica in mid-June 1944 and the resulting confrontation between these political operators and the partisans.
