There are certain individuals relevant to the communist movement who stepped from the scene before the outbreak of the Second World War in Yugoslavia. The aim of this work is to highlight the role of Petko Miletić in the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, which is not negligible, especially in the period of conϐlicts regarding the leadership of the Party in the period from 1937 to 1939. In historiographical works and memoirs, there are data of informational character in accordance with the adopted and valid Party manifest. The role of Petko Miletić in the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) was an example which most clearly reϐlected changes both in the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, and the centre of the communist movement, Comintern, after its 7th Congress in 1935. This paper aims to show the real inϐluence and signiϐicance of Petko Miletić within the communist organization in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. However, due to the scarcity of archival sources, this paper cannot provide a complete image of this important ϐigure of the communist movement.
