Yugoslavia Veterans' Association
The Federation of Associations of Veterans of the National
Liberation War (Savez udruzenja boraca Narodno-oslobodilackog
rata--SUBNOR) was an aging, dwindling group of former World War
II partisans. The assemblies of local and republic governments
designated seats for SUBNOR representatives. Often used by Tito
as a prestigious lever for centralizing party control, SUBNOR in
the 1980s espoused the view that modern Yugoslavia had
degenerated since the early days of struggle, and that new
leadership was needed. Although by 1990 few figures of its
generation and viewpoint remained in national politics, SUBNOR
retained considerable influence in the first post-Tito decade
(see Government Organization for Defense
, ch. 5).
