Veselin Djuranović

(Danilovgrad, 17/5/1925 - Martinići, 30/5/1997)

President - Federal executive council (1977-1982)

Short bio

Veselin Djuranović succeeded Dzemal Bijedić as the head of the Federal executive council in 1977. He took this position right after the conclusion of the EEC-Yugoslavia Joint declaration of December 1976. Djuranović confirmed Bijedić’s views on the political importance of his country’s opening to the Community and on the expansion of bilateral relations beyond the commercial domain. For this reason, he was personally engaged in the realisation of the goals of the declaration, namely the overall development of Yugoslavia’s commercial, agricultural, industrial and financial cooperation with the Community. Within the FEC, he successfully insisted, with Stojan Andov, for a renewed political approach towards the Community, in view of the political rationale of this relationship. His efforts were to lead to the successful negotiations of the 1980 cooperation agreement.
