 Đujić's actions greatly enhanced his reputation among Dalmatian peasants, who referred to him as a "brave leader of working men".The local authorities continued to view Đujić with suspicion, describing him as a "priest of left-wing democracy" in internal documents.Unsubstantiated rumours circulated that Đujić supported Ljotić's organisation, and that he was one of the few people that had voted for Ljotić in the 1938 Yugoslav parliamentary elections.
