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!

[SasaYU]

I have downloaded pictures scanned from the internet..

There is a problem with the post #17 (Order of Nikola Tesla). Wrong picture appeared. Can I edit it ?

[paja]

These scans that Sasa has uploaded are from that booklet Megan mentioned. Booklet is named Glow of Order (Sjaj ordena in Serbian).

Rest of the scans can be found on this link:

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.

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:
