Josip Broz Tito

Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito used many residences and holiday homes during the long period of his rule from 1944 until his death in 1980.

Thousands of anti-fascists from former Yugoslav countries gathered on Sunday at the Sutjeska memorial in Tjentiste in Bosnia and Herzegovina to pay tribute to the soldiers killed during the crucial battle during World War II.

The Bosnian capital of Sarajevo has voted to honour the memory of a World War II woman resistance fighter by naming a park after her.

City Park, in the heart of Sarajevo, will be named after Jelena Vitas, the city council decided on Thursday, following a local referendum held in April.

The collection of more than 500 images includes portrait and documentary photographs which show ordinary members of the Communist Partisan movement, which was led by Josip Broz Tito, on battlefields and at cultural events, but also at social occasions such as weddings.

The modernist building is appreciated by many architects and lovers of brutalism, but it is now surrounded by unkept grass, with broken windows and a damaged roof, while its once impressive interior is full of dust, dirt and rubbish. Grass is even growing inside the building.

AFP - Macedonians went to the polls Sunday to vote on whether to re-name their country North Macedonia in a bid to settle a long-running row with Greece and unlock its path to NATO and EU membership.

Macedonia has struggled for recognition of its name since its birth in 1991 when the landlocked country declared independence from Yugoslavia.

Academics and activists marked the 70th anniversary of the split between Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, which led to mass persecution and the creation of the Non-Alignment Movement.

According to a press release, Dacic and Wickremesinghe "expressed readiness to intensify bilateral political dialogue at the high and highest level, as well as to enhance cooperation in all areas."

Dacic, who is visiting the island nation, pointed out that this decision went against the principles for which that country is fighting where their territorial integrity is concerned, and that Serbia and Comoros share ties of friendly relations from the era of the former Yugoslavia and its leader, Josip Broz Tito.

Dacic told a joint press conference in Belgrade that he "suggested to Darboe and asked him" that his country should reconsider the decision, which a former government made in 2009.
