Last prime minister of Yugoslavia dies It is unclear from these reports where the former Croatian and Yugoslav politician died, or what caused his death. Markovic was born in 1924 in Konjic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and was eductated in Dubrovnik and Zagreb, in Croatia. He was a pre-WW2 member of the Communist Party and joined its forces in 1941. From 1982, Markovic headed the Executive Council of the Croatian Assembly, and was twice elected to head the Presidency of the Socialist Republic of Croatia. In 1986 he became a member of the Central Committee of the Alliance of Communists of Yugoslavia (SKJ), while three years later he was appointed president of the federal government (SIV). He was the author of a program of economic reforms that yielded short-lived results, increasing the standard of living in the country and curbing the inflation, which made him a popular politician. Faced with the opposition to his economic program coming from Serbia, and separatist activities of Croatia and Slovenia, Markovic was forced resign in late 1991, when Yugoslavia had already effectively broken up. Markovic withdrew from politics after stepping down as Yugoslavia's last prime minister. A file photo of Ante Markovic
