Heads of State

Prior to 1974, Serbia had no president or state presidency. The most senior state official was the President of the People's Assembly of Serbia, who was considered as the head of state.

In the SR Serbia, the only legal political party was the League of Communists of Serbia, and therefore all heads of state belonged to that political organization.
