Commemoration of Josip Broz Tito in the Balkans

Overview

Discussions regarding the commemoration of Josip Broz Tito have emerged in Slovenia and Montenegro. In Nova Gorica, Slovenia, the municipality has proposed designating the ‘Naš Tito’ (Our Tito) stone inscription on Sabotin hill as a local cultural monument. This initiative has sparked debate between those recognizing Tito as a key historical figure in the National Liberation Struggle and critics who argue the designation disregards victims of his regime and its associated revolutionary violence.

In Cetinje, Montenegro, authorities have approved the installation of a memorial bust of Tito within the city’s historical core at Revolution Square. To accommodate the new monument, an existing bust of painter Petar Lubarda will be relocated to a university complex. Officials noted that the site’s existing memorial ensemble, which includes figures from the Montenegrin anti-fascist movement, provides a fitting historical context for the Tito bust.
