Summary/Abstract: The Association for Yugoslav Democratic Initiative (AYDI) was formed on the founding assembly held in Room VII at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb on 2nd February 1989. The members of the presidency were: Vesna Pešić, Shkelezen Maliqu, Lev Kreft, Siniša Maričić, Predrag Matvejević and Branko Horvat. Its Manifest proclaimed the intention to constitute Yugoslavia as a democratic and federative union of citizens and federal units. They conveyed their thoughts about peaceful solutions of the accumulated political problems in the journals Republika and Vreme. In Bosnia and Herzegovina regional branches of the Association were founded in Mostar and Sarajevo, while the procedure for registration was initiated in Tuzla. During its attempts to prevent and stop the war, the AYDI founded the Pre-parliament of Yugoslavia within which there was a Round table of government and the opposition. The suggested Theses for the model of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina did not endure in practice because they were stopped by the war and other political solutions.
