    • Abstract:
      The article presents details of the meeting between a political journalist and a Comrade Inspector from the state security police (SDB) in charge of the press in Yugoslavia. In Yugoslavia, the editor in chief approved by the Central Committee of the Communist Party is usually the censor of his newspaper. The SDB provides surveillance service and watches the media and the journalists closely. The article depicts how subtly the Comrade Inspector warned the journalist from repeating serious mistakes.
