The Union of Communists of Serbia ( Serbo-Croatian  Savez komunista Srbije / Савез комуниста Србије , SKS / СКС) was a communist party in Serbia and part of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia , the ruling party in the former Yugoslavia .

history

The party was founded as the Communist Party of Serbia in May 1945 before being incorporated into the Communist Party of Yugoslavia . In the 1980s, Slobodan Milošević promised to withdraw power from the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina. His Serbian nationalist policies increased ethnic tensions in Yugoslavia.

At the beginning of the 1990s, tensions between the republics of Yugoslavia brought the BdKJ to a collapse. On July 27, 1990, the party merged with several smaller parties to form the Socialist Party of Serbia .
