 The Narodna Odbrana 1911
However, the Narodna Odbrana is not content with this, for it regards the so-called peaceful present-day conditions as war, and demands heroes, too, for this struggle of today which we are carrying on in Serbia and beyond the frontier.
While the Narodna Odbrana works in conformity with the times according to the altered conditions, it also maintains all the connections made at the time of the annexation today therefore it is the same as it was at the time of the annexation.
Today, too, it is Odbrana (defence); today, too, Narodna (of the people); today, too, it gathers under its standard the citizens of Serbia as it gathered them at the time of the annexation.

 Owings - The Sarajevo Trial - Part One
Some of the officials of the "Narodna odbrana" were also officials in the Serbian government, and as this trial transcript depicts, able to call on the assistance of still other government officials to obtain the contraband bombs and pistols and facilitate their crossing the border.
The Austrian government confused the roles of the "Narodna odbrana" and the Black Hand, and at the Sarajevo Trial tried to make a case for the proposition that it was the "Narodna odbrana" that had plotted the killing.
It is now nearly certain that the "Narodna odbrana" as such had nothing to do with the assassination, but it is equally certain that some of the individuals in it supplied the arms and aid that the Belgrade troika required.

Princip and Cabrinovic desired at first to procure the bombs and weapons necessary for the execution of the deed from the Serbian Major Milan Pribicevic or from the Narodna Odbrana, (see Note 1) as they themselves did not possess the means for their purchase.

From these facts, the conclusion may be drawn that the Narodna Odbrana, as well as the associations hostile to the Monarchy in Serbia, which were grouped round it, recently decided that the hour had struck to translate theory into practice.

Serbia's largest nationalist society was "Narodna Odbrana" (National Defence), founded to support guerilla units in Macedonia.

More dangerous was "Ujedinjenje ili Smrt" (Union or Death) known as the "Black Hand." Apis organized the society in 1911 from among the regicides of 1903: they swore an oath of secrecy and agreed to obey orders on pain of death.
