    That's a fine selection, SasaYU! Are these scans of that booklet I talked about at the beginning of the thread? The images are about the same quality as the ones I found online...

    Good to see them, thank you!

    irst up, the highest award, which is a new one: the Order of Yugoslavia (Orden Jugoslavije). It is given to Heads of State and other senior members of government. In effect it has 2 classes, as the Collar and Star are reserved for actual Heads of State, while the Sash and Star can go to any leader who may not be technically a Head of State.

    Collar:

    Apologies for quality, they're from these images I think are from the booklet mentioned above.

    I have found couple of new scans of the FRY decorations, unfortunately not much better quality.

    Next up, the Order of the Yugoslav Grand Star. This is awarded in a single class to Heads of State for special merit in developing and strengthening cooperation and friendly relationships between Yugoslavia and other nations. This is identical to the communist-era order of the same name, and although I only have a scruffy little picture, looks the same as well.

    In comparision, here's a (much better!) image of the communist-era star:
