Association for the Yugoslav Democratic Initiative
January 01, 1970
The Association for the Yugoslav Democratic Initiative (Serbo-Croatian: Udruženje za jugoslovensku/jugoslavensku demokratsku inicijativu, UJDI) was a political party in SFR Yugoslavia. It is widely considered the first independent all-Yugoslav political movement.[1]

UJDI's basic tenets were the transformation of the state through democratization, freedom of thought and political activity, including free multi-party elections, as well as the support for Yugoslavia as a united federal state, as opposed to centralism and separatism.[1]
A Slovenian affiliate of the party was also founded under the leadership of the sociologist Rastko Močnik,[4] but it ceased functioning even before the 1990 multi-party elections.
