Presidency of Yugoslavia
The order of rotating of the members on the leading position was agreed in advance, so this annual election was a pure formality.The top state office of the disintegrating federation remained vacant until 1 July when Mesić was finally elected.On 2 April 1981 the Presidency under chairmanship of Cvijetin Mijatović declared a state of emergency in Priština and Kosovska Mitrovica, which lasted one week.[8][9] For the third time in post-Tito Yugoslavia, a state of emergency in Kosovo was imposed by the Presidency in February 1990.They were followed by Bogićević and Vasil Tupurkovski from Macedonia, so that the Presidency de facto ceased to exist, although the members from Serbia, her provinces (Kosovo and Vojvodina) and Montenegro continued to hold sessions until 1992.
