NARODNI FRONT JUGOSLAVIJE: KARAKTER, SPECIFIČNOSTI I FUNKCIJA
THE PEOPLE’S FRONT OF YUGOSLAVIA: CHARACTER, UNIQUENESS AND FUNCTION

Summary/Abstract: The Yugoslav People’s Front developed through four phases: pre-war, war, post-war and the last phase during which the name of the People’s Front (of Yugoslavia) was changed to SSRNJ (Socialist Alliance of Working People of Yugoslavia). The decisive factors for its creation came from the external political context (the Allied efforts to preserve the Yugoslav borders after the war, the importance of the Allied landing in Sicily, the desire of the Allies to be represented in the Yugoslav post-war government structure through their representatives, etc.). On the internal political level, the peasant parties, their structures, the ideology of brotherhood and unity, as well as the fact that the Communist regime evolved from the partisan army through the People’s Front, were particularly significant. A comparative analysis of the Yugoslav People’s Front with the people’s fronts of Bulgaria and Romania indicates the uniqueness of the Yugoslav case.
