Yugoslavia Index
Beginning in 1945, the institutions of the Yugoslav
government were overshadowed by the dominating policy input of
the single ruling communist party and by a number of partycontrolled organizations designed to maintain control of various
sectors of society. At the end of the first post-Tito decade,
however, this condition changed in two ways. First, major partycontrolled organizations such as unions and youth groups took
independent positions, and some became rival parties to the LCY.
Those that remained closest to the LCY lost membership and
influence. Second, the 1990 split of the LCY left that
organization without even nominal policy--making control for the
first time since 1945. These developments threatened to complete
the separation of state from party that had begun in 1948.
Data as of December 1990
