Hadzic’s letter to Kalafatovic

Letter to Kalafatovic sent by Minister of the Army and Navy of Kingdom of Yugoslavia Stevan Hadzic (in office 1926–1931, 4th term) With memorandum of Ministry cabinet in the upper left corner. Dated December 28th, 1929. Text in Serbian language, Cyrillic script.

Content: Minister answers to general Kalafatovic’s previously received letter in which general Kalafatovic complains about not being promoted to a higher rank. Minister explains that no personal reasons affected his decision.

Simply, he decided to promote a larger number of colonels awaiting first general rank. Minister was surprised to receive a letter of such content from general Kalafatovic whom he has always respected as a man and officer.

Kalafatovic’s response

Response by Kalafatovic dated January 5th, 1930. One leaf, handwritten on both sides. Content: Kalafatovic responds to the minister thanking him for even answering the letter, seeing that fact alone as a confirmation of respect the minister has for him. Kalafatovic says he never doubted this and eventually finishes by saying he is not satisfied with a provided answer on the question of not being promoted.

Especially because the minister himself says in his letter that Kalafatovic had met the requirements. However, he says he is not going to complain at the end of his career, since he had never complained before.
