It would be tedious to chronicle a thousandth part of the outrages,
crimes and stupidities committed on Yugoslav territory by the Italians.
Where they were threatened with an armed resistance they yielded. Thus
on November 14, when they had reached Vrhnica (Ober-Laibach) on their
way to Ljubljana (Laibach), they were met by Colonel Svibi['c] with
sixteen other officers who had just come out of an internment camp in
Austria. Svibi['c] requested the Italians to leave Vrhnica. He said that
he and the Serbian commander at Ljubljana would prevent the advance of
the Italians into Yugoslav territory. They would be most reluctant to be
obliged to resort to armed force should the Italians continue their
advance, and they declined responsibility for any bloodshed which might
ensue.... The colonel of the Italian regiment which had been stationed
for some days at Vrhnica informed the mayor of that commune that he had
received orders to depart; he retired to the line of demarcation fixed
by the Armistice conditions.
