During Josip Broz Tito's presidency and in the years following his death in 1980, several places in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and across the world were named or renamed in honor of him as part of his cult of personality. Since the breakup of Yugoslavia, several towns and squares in the former nation have reverted their names. Numerous streets were also named after Tito, both in former Yugoslavia as well as elsewhere as an honour to a foreign dignitary.
Cities formerly named after Tito A total of eight towns and cities were named after Tito. Right after World War II, four municipalities whose role in the partisan resistance movement was perceived as significant gained the adjective "Tito's" (locally Titov/Titova/Titovo), while the capital of the smallest federal republic of Montenegro was renamed Titograd (Tito-city). After Tito's death in 1980, four more cities were added, for a total of one in each of the Yugoslav six federal republics and two autonomous provinces. These were as follows:
Montenegro Titograd, July 13, 1946 – April 2, 1992 – Podgorica Bosnia and Herzegovina Titov Drvar, 1981–1991 – Drvar, Canton 10, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Croatia Titova Korenica, December 5, 1945 – February 7, 1997 – Korenica Serbia Titovo Užice, 1946–1992 – Užice Titov Vrbas, 1983–1992 – Vrbas, Vojvodina Titova Mitrovica, 1981–1992 – Kosovska Mitrovica
Slovenia Titovo Velenje, October 10, 1981 – July 17, 1990 – Velenje North Macedonia Titov Veles, 1946–1996 – Veles With the dissolution of Yugoslavia, each city was renamed.
Streets and squares
Many towns in the countries of former Yugoslavia and in other countries have streets and squares named after him.
Slovenia Ilirska Bistrica: Trg Maršala Tita (main square) Jesenice: Cesta Maršala Tita Koper: Titov trg (main square) Logatec: Titova ulica Ljubljana: Titova cesta (renamed to Slovenska cesta (Slovenian Avenue) in 1991); Titova cesta, a section of Štajerska cesta named after Tito in 2009. After Tito street decision in Slovenia renamed to Štajerska cesta. Maribor: Titova cesta (main street), Titov most (Tito's Bridge) Postojna: Titov trg (main square), Titova cesta Radeče: Titova ulica Radenci: Titova cesta Senovo: Titova cesta Slovenska Bistrica: Titova cesta Tolmin: Trg Maršala Tita (main square) Velenje: Titov trg (main square with highest Tito's statue in the world)
In 2011, 2 years after a street in Ljubljana was named after Tito, the Constitutional Court of Slovenia ruled that naming of a new street after Josip Broz Tito was unconstitutional. The court unanimously ruled that Tito symbolizes severe human rights violations, and that naming the street after him glorifies totalitarian regime and violates human dignity.Text of the decision U-I-109/10 of the Constitutional Court of Slovenia, issued on 3 October 2011, in Slovene: http://odlocitve.us-rs.si/usrs/us-odl.nsf/o/AB6C747BE8DF7AF3C125791F00404CF9 Naming Street After Tito Unconstitutional. Slovenia Times, 5 October 2011 http://www.sloveniatimes.com/naming-street-after-tito-unconstitutional In 2020, the Constitutional Court of Slovenia allowed a referendum against the renaming of Tito's street in Radenci. In contrast to the decision about the street in Ljubljana, the street in Radenci had been named after Tito more than 40 years ago; the court rejected the mayor's claim that a referendum to keep the name would violate the constitution.Tito's Street Keeps its Name, 24ur, published on 27 July 2020 https://www.24ur.com/novice/slovenija/titova-cesta-v-radencih-ostaja-titova.html
