The League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) convened the highest forum for its 13th Congress on 25–28 June 1986. It was attended by delegates from all the LCY branches. The Congress received numerous congratulatory messages from parties and movements from many countries and over a thousand telegrams from domestic labour organisations.
Background
[edit]This conference was notable for the members elected or confirmed. The 13th Congress aimed to bring to the forefront a new generation of politicians to replace the party's old cadre.[1] Instead of seeking agreement within the national framework, the fundamental split in the form of the Yugoslav state was rather confirmed, where the Western republics gravitated towards a more liberal model, while Serbia held centralist and conservative positions.[2]
