There was a proposition in 1898 by HM King Alexander I to introduce the rank of divisional general ("Дивизијски ђенерал") to the Royal Serbian Army, along with brigade  general and army general. The newly created Royal Yugoslav Army introduced the rank of divisional general in 1923 and confirmed by law in 1929, modeled after French army, as the second general rank, higher than brigade general but lower than army general. The rank had a similar role as the French "général de division" at time of introduction, able to command a corps, as there was no separate rank for corps command. This rank was also used during World War II by the Chetniks. The most notable holders are Miroslav Trifunović and Ivan Prezelj. These ranks were replaced in 1945  by Tito's Yugoslav Partisans with the introduction of Soviet-style ranks.
