Sandžak was partialy controlled by NDH from April-September 1941. In  counties of Priboj, Prijepolje, Nova Varoš and Sjenica units of Oružništvo and Domobranstvo were stationed. Mail to and from this units is extremely rare as units were small in numbers, stationed there for only 4 months and postal services were poor or nonexistent. 

This event was  poory recorded by historians and only recently a book about it was published by Serbian historian Milutin Živković.  I have a 2020 Croatian edition of the book .  Although I dont agree with many  political views written by the Author in the book, i  still think this is a great history book that i can highly recommend to everyone interested in the subject.
