Abstract

The article presents the most significant events and processes related to the formation of representative bodies of the People's Liberation Movement in Montenegro during the Second World War. The research focus is on the process of formation of ZAVNO (Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation) in the territory of modern Montenegro and their role in the process of constitution of AVNOJ (Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia) . In this context, we have analysed the activity of the formation of ZAVNO Montenegro and Boka, as well as ZAVNO Sanjak, within which representative bodies were formed in the area that includes the modern Montenegrin state. The paper points to the political and ideological platform of these bodies, as well as their activity and action in the processes that led to the creation of the new Yugoslavia. Based on the existing literature, archival sources and the press, in addition to the explanation of the most important events, the article points out the key activities of the CPY Committee for Montenegro in the process of the transition of the revolutionary authorities and their final legitimization in the first post-war elections for the Constituent Assembly.
