He acted in para-military separatist forces of Croatia.

I think Glasnovic is not Yugoslav general !!?? So,

Anatoly, great pictures !!! Very rare piece. Thanks for sharing.

Medal for merit to the people does have latin letters.

CHRISTIAN, there were no differences in issuing medals between republics of Yugoslavia.

Maybe because they can be faked easily.?

Anatoly, those ribbons are not correct. Labour medal and Medal for merit to the people have 5 sided ribbons.

Pin of border units of Yugoslav peoples army.

You are welcome.

Archives are in Belgrade and yes they should exist.

Soviet, order was awarded to dr Karel Oberslik, Colonel.

Law about decorations (orders and medals) was changing after the WWI. Firs was issued on 12. 06. 1945., second on 14. 12. 1955., revised on 15. 03. 1961., and then again in 15. 04. 1964. Afther the revision, new Law about decorations was issued in july 1973., which was revised in 1976., and again in 1985. Certificates and charters: According to the Law about decorations of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1986.: Certificate was issued to the bearer of the order or medal. For higher rank orders diploma or charter was issued. Charter was issued for Order of grand star of Yugoslavia, Order of freedom, Order of national hero, Order of hero of socialist work, Order of national liberation, Order of war flag, Order of Yugoslavian flag with sash, Order of partisan star with gold and silver wreath, Order of Republic with gold and silver wreath, Order for merit to the people with gold star, Order of brotherhood and unity with gold wreath, Order of work with red flag, Order of the peoples army with laurel wreath and Order for military merit with grand star. According to the same law there was a penalty of 10.000 to 50.000 dinars or imprisonment of 30 days if unauthorized person wears decoration (order or medal).

Third class definitely does not exist. Christian, order on the picture can be a fake or a one with an enamel worn out. There is also that what Milan says about IKOM.

Hi Valuk / Lep pozdrav.

Order of merit to the people is given for special merits in combat against enemy and for liberation of the country, for merit in building of socialism and self goverment, for organising and strengthening of defence, security and independence of the country and also for merits in the field of economy, science and culture.

Every order had it's own document (povelja) as one that Ed scanned. System in Yugoslavia was different than in Hungary or other countries of Eastern block. As far as I know only two orders had carying document: Order of national hero and Commemorative order 1941 (Partizanska spomenica 1941)

Medal for bravery Milos Obilic was instituted on 12. 07. 1913. by the order of King Peter I Karageorgevich. Medal was assigned for "proved bravery on the battlefield" or "fearless bravery in battle". Medal for bravery Milos Obilic had 2 clases (gold and silver) and was manufactured in Switzerland by Huguenin Frėres. During the WW I medals were also made by "Arthus Bertrand", Paris. Gold medal for bravery was given to officers, and silver medal to lower rank officers and soliders. Medal was made of gold and silver gilted bronze in two sizes 36 and 30 mm.

As far as I know, there was no carrying document for Orders of Yugoslavia except for Order of national hero and Commemorative order 1941 (Partizanska spomenica 1941)

Anytime wlodzimierz

I do not know him in person. Yes, Singidunum is one of the dealers for orders and medals and miniatures in Serbia.

Christian, as far as I know there is no 3rd class of Order of Brotherhood & Unity

It means: Member of the Central Comitee of the Romanian Communist party, Head of the department in Central Comitee of the Romanian Communist party

Christian, write your interest on PM, and I will try to find what you need.

Wlodzimierz, it is probably easier to find documented awards in Serbia, but it is becoming more difficult by the day.
