The Serbs and Croats laid flowers at the bronze monument to Marshal Tito, which had been built in 1948. Together with their grandchildren, they visited a memorial museum opened in 1953 in the house in which the Yugoslav Communist party leader spent his childhood.
It is worth remembering that in World War II, Tito (a pseudonym he adopted about 1935) proved the effective leader of Yugoslav Partisans. Josip Broz Tito was prime minister (1945-53) and president (1953-80) of Yugoslavia.
