Several thousand people from all parts of the former Yugoslavia visited the grave of Josip Broz Tito in Belgrade. This came on May 25 – a former holiday known as Youth Day in the former Yugoslavia, which was also marked as the official birthday of the former president of Yugoslavia. Thousands visit Tito's grave on Youth Day Some were carrying Yugoslav flags, reading "Proletarians of all countries - unite," caps with five-pointed stars and red scarves. The organizers of the ceremony were the Josip Broz Association and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. The ceremony was held to the sound of partisan revolutionary songs and those from the Yugoslav era. At noon, at the plateau in front of the May 25 Museum, the traditional Youth Batons from six towns of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia were presented to Tito's grandson, Josip Joska Broz, which will be kept in the House of Flowers, the memorial building where Josip Broz Tito is buried. The batons arrived from Umag, Rijeka, Backo Gradiste, Podgorica, Skopje and Sarajevo. Before the handing over of batons, wreaths were laid in the House of Flowers. Tito's grandson, who is the president of the recently formed Communist Party, told Beta that people had come to see the resting place of the man who had enabled them better lives. The communist leader from the period of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, then the leader of the partisan movement and the post-war life-long president of Yugoslavia (SFRJ), Josip Broz, was born in Kumrovec, Croatia, in May 1892. He died in Ljubljana on May 4, 1980. His funeral was attended by around 700,000 people, including four kings, 31 presidents, 22 prime ministers, six princes and 11 national parliament speakers.
