Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to present the process of creation, i.e. organizational and ideological shaping of the veteran movement of the Association of Fighters of Yugoslavia (AFY, Serbian BOJ) and illuminate its role in the context of Yugoslav integrationist forces in the first half of the 1930s. A special focus will be placed on the adoption of ideological constructions of the Organization of Yugoslav Nationalists and contemporary French veteran movements. The paper also sheds light on the complex relations between AFY, the 6 January regime and contemporary, ideologically related political groups, and on the role of ideological conceptions of AFY in the creation of the ideology of the Yugoslav National Movement Zbor.
