Janko Pleterski
Abstract
The author is writing about the re-establishing Yugoslavia in the form of a federation during the war-time (from April 1941 to November 1943), the time when there were no so clearly worded ideas upon it yet, neither on the part of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) nor among the organs of the national liberation movement. Policy of brotherhood and unity - the arms, CPY was opposing to the main political weapon of the occupiers and the counter-revolution, - was including the perspective of a unity on a federal basis. CPY precising its attitude regarding the nationality problem, towards the end of 1942, had also meant taking up the standpoint regarding the tendencies that were expressed through the wireless transmissions from Moscow. The decision of November 1943 of the Anti-Fascist Council of the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (ACNLY) about the federative construction had been primarily brought about throught the success o f the Yugoslav revolution. Towards the end of 1943 that was the main argument to oppose the imaginary alternative to the Yugoslav federacy - the Balkan federacy. The problem of the regions as parts of federacy had been discussed once the decision of ACNLY had been reached.
