Finally got my hands on 2nd class. According to information I found online only 684 were awarded.

Next to Socialist Yugoslavia's Order of Military Merits.

I knew FR Yugoslavia had the same decorations as SFR Yugoslavia but I haven't seen much photos of the actual decorations. IMO SFRY Orders of Merit look better. 

I have SFRY Order of Merit with Silver and Golden Swords which were awarded to my grandpa during his service.

Some of them were very similar or practically the same but there were also new and original solutions.
There's a separate topic about FRY decorations with lots of images, here's the link for it:

Interesting, thanks!

You're welcome, unfortunately some images are still not visible after the forum upgrade...

The links still work if you copy them to the browser address bar... bit clunky but at least you can see the images!

Thanks for the tip! Perhaps the problem with some of the images is the fact that there is no space between the codes, it looks like this ".jpghttp://". Maybe they would be visible if we separated them.
Also I've noticed there's a problem with Serbian letters both Cyrillic alphabet and Latin letters that don't exist in English. Can something be done about that? For example take a look at this topic.

I apologize for going so much off-topic but I'd be happy if some of those issues could be solved.
If everything has to be done manually I'd be more than willing to help.
