She felt the injustice of the regime in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia early on. She joined the progressive labor movement before the war in Belgrade, where she lived with her family for a while. She was active in the women's movement and often traveled from Belgrade to Prilep carrying illegal material for Skopje, Veles and Prilep.At that time, although very young, Vera participated in the student protests. During the period when she lived in Belgrade, Vera and her mother often traveled to Prilep and back. On those trips, in fact, they brought materials, leaflets and everything needed to form local committees from Belgrade.[2]
