Yugoslavia: Internal Political Situation in Yugoslavia

A file of correspondence and reports concerning the internal political situation in Yugoslavia. The documents cover discussions with Yugoslav politicians, journalists, academics, and bankers on the country's economic and political situation, including Yugoslavia's system of government and the current constitution, Serbia's relations with the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina, measures to address Yugoslavia's balance of payments, and Yugoslav attempts to obtain further credit from the West. Other documents in the file cover the anniversary of the death of the country's former leader, Josip Tito; the identification of Yugoslav nationality as demonstrated by the results of the 1981 census; and the human rights situation in Yugoslavia following the jailing of student demonstrators. The file also covers the ninth congress of Yugoslav trade unions; the thirty-ninth anniversary of the founding of Yugoslavia's security services; and the critical reception to a book written by a historian, Vladimir Dedijer, on Josip Tito.
