Josip Broz Tito about the unity of the republics and Yugoslav identity
Written on 22 November 2024 by Radio Yugoslavia
“None of our republics would be anything if we weren’t all together, but we have to create our history — our Yugoslav socialist history, that is unique, in the future — that is our path; not touching the national rights of the some republics to preserve their own traditions, not at the expense of, but in the interest of the whole community, to mutually complete each other. That is what we want, and not the destruction of our unity.”
− Josip Broz Tito, Split, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia (1961). On the picture 📸 is Saddam Hussein lighting Tito’s cigar in Baghdad, Iraq (c. 1979)
