Statute
"Statute of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia"

The congress was the highest forum of the

international affairs. The congress assessed, decided on the eligibility of and elected candidates put forward by the LCY branches to the Central Committee, the Commission on Statutory Questions, and the Supervisory Commission.[2]

The incumbent

Ex officio members of the LCY Central Committee were not elected by congress and were verified by a session of the LCY Central Committee.[4]

In its last years, from 1974 until its dissolution (and from 1948 to 1952), the LCY convened the congress every fourth year. Earlier, from 1964 to 1974, the statute stipulated it was to be called every fifth year. From 1952 to 1964, it was convened every sixth year, and it was convened irregularly prior to the

Yugoslav People’s Army. Members of the LCY Central Committee, the Commission on Statutory Questions and the Supervisory Commissions had the same rights as congress delegates except the right to vote on the report and on the dissolution of the organ to which they belonged.[4]

  3. ^ 36 voting and 12 non-voting.
  4. Committee for the Preparation of the Congress of Democratic and Programmatic Renewal of the LCY Central Committee, tasked with convening the 15th LCY Congress, which it failed to accomplish.[21]
