In May and June 1945 Tito's partisans executed more than 18,000 "Ustashas, White Guards, and Ljotic followers" (that is, members of Croatian, Slovene, and Serbian collaborationist organizations) near Kocevje.

As is pointed out in the above link, there was not anything extraordinary with the punishment of collaborators following the war. According to data compiled by the French government, more than 4,000 collaborators were executed by maquisards in France during and after the Liberation. In Italy some 12-15,000 people died between April and June 1945 as the partisans revenged themselves on Fascists.
