Sažetak
In socialist Yugoslavia, immediately after the Second World War, the very first institutions for the protection of nature were established. From the 1970s onwards, environmental policies were formed, largely decentralized and left to the jurisdiction of individual Yugoslav republics in accordance with the centripetal tendencies of Yugoslav politics. From 1970s, an environmental movement developed gradually. However, it should be noted that in socialist Yugoslavia civil society (according to Western standards) did not exist outside of the socialist system. State-sponsored environmental organizations dominated the scene, and citizens interested in environmental issues typically joined or cooperated with these entities. Nevertheless, in many local communities, activists found ways to operate with a modicum of independence, especially during 1980s. The system of political monopoly by the ruling Communist Party slowly dissolved and gradual liberalization was visible even within the environmental movement.
