The Anti-fascist Assembly for the National Liberation of Serbia (; acr. АСНОС / ASNOS) was formed in November 1944, as the governing body of the Yugoslav National Liberation Movement in the newly liberated Serbia.
In early November 1944, the Great Anti-Fascist People's Liberation Assembly of Serbia () in Belgrade. It consisted of more than eight hundred delegates, elected throughout liberated regions of Serbia. In order to form permanent representative body, delegates elected 250 representatives, thus constituting the Anti-fascist Assembly for the National Liberation of Serbia. In the same time, they affirmed the policy of reconstituting Yugoslavia as a federation, with Serbia as one of its federal units. Thus was initiated the process that led to the creation of the Federated State of Serbia (), as a federated state within new Democratic Federal Yugoslavia.
Background
In the summer of 1944, during World War II, Yugoslav Partisans broke through Chetnik defenses and entered Serbia from the west. In autumn, the Soviet Red Army reached the Serbian-Romanian border from the east. Joseph Stalin asked the Partisans for permission to enter and fight on Serbian territory. Between 15 and 20 October 1944, the Partisans and the Red Army liberated Vojvodina, eastern and northern Serbia, and Belgrade.
