Federal Assembly of the SFRY

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Parliament Building of Serbia formerly was Federal Assembly Building.

The Federal Assembly (Savezna skupština / Савезна скупштина) was the official parliament for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which existed from 1946 to 1990 and resided in the building which now convenes the National Assembly of Serbia. The Federal Assembly was composed of appointed members from the League of Communists of Yugoslavia compiled from the Leagues of Communists of each constituent republic. When the League of Communists collapsed in 1990 amid ethnic tensions, the Federal Assembly was shut down. The institution would be ressurected as the Federal Assembly of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992, but this assembly had elected members.
