I found solution:
1. Shorcut:
"C:\Program Files\DOSBox\dosbox.exe" "D:\APP.bat"
2. APP.bat:
d:\FOGGS.COM
d:\CHERRY.COM
d:\MyProgram.EXE

Before my dos programs must be started CHERRY.COM. And Yugoslavian čćžšđ are shown in window.

I found it on that page:

Just for the reference - before the official 852 codepage, we used a hacked 437 codepage with some characters replaced by the čćžšđ characters. These are different chars (all <128) than official 852, so changing the keyboard layout in the config does not help.
The program in question probably uses this hacked 437 codepage (these programs are recognized because {}[]@ are used for the special characters).

Also, loading the 'YU codepage' TSRs made dos prompt look like:

C:Đ>

because \ was replaced by Đ 😁

Hehe, well i guess that hacked codepage never made it into any sort of official codepage, right?

Well, if you consider YUSCII to be an official standard 😉
