The Yugoslav Parliament, established in 1920, was reshaped by socialist partisan groups in 1938 and officially recognized in 1944. Initially led by the prime minister, it became a royal puppet in 1935 under the king. After World War II, the country shifted to socialism, concentrating power in Tito’s hands, limiting parliamentary influence. By 1989, with Tito dead for nearly a decade, ethnic rebellions and nationalist movements erupted. The government was in chaos, and only the army’s loyalty to Tito prevented collapse. The parliament, divided by reformists, Tito loyalists, and nationalist factions, struggled to make decisions, leading to a breakdown in security and governance.
