Pay attention to the remarkable difference between two types of awarding diplomas.

Are they as well from the Yugoslav archive?

[paja]

Yes, all four documents are kept at the Archives of Yugoslavia.

Greetings and welcome to GMIC,
Fourth medal in the first row is Medal for Bravery Miloš Obilić, the branch on the ribbon means that he was double recipient.
First medal in the second row is Polish Order of Polonia Restituta 4th class.
