The co-operation between the cities of Kraljevo and Titova Mitrovica (1987-1990)
Abstract
At the end of 1981 Municipal Board of SUBNOR in Kraljevo proposed the fraternization of Kraljevo and Titova Mirovica. The fraternization took place finally on the 23rd of November 1983. Until the end of 1987, fraternization and co-operation did not lead to a significant result. New circumstances occurred after the 9th plenary session of CC of LCY held on 26th of June 1987. The tasks set at that time gave the possibility to increase the co-operation of Kraljevo and Titova Mitrovica. For the financial fundament of the co-operation implementation were planned the resources which Kraljevo pay for the Fund for the underdeveloped. The co-operation in the field of social activities included diversified forms of integration of primary, grammar, higher and high schools. The co-operation included the organization of visits, encounters and competitions, visits in the field of sport ad physical culture. Despite bad political circumstances at the end of 1968, co-operation between two fraternizing cities started going upwards. The future co-operation course was influenced by the adoption of the Yugoslav Programme of Measurements and Activities for the Transmigration Stopping of Serbs and Montenegrins from Kosovo (YU - Programme). The point 9 of this Programme it was foreseen that Kraljevo and Sombor supported Titova Mitrovica. In February and March 1989 had started the events in Kosovo and Metohija which marked the beginning of the stagnation process of relationships. Some continuation of fertile co-operation from 1988 existed later, first of all, in the domain of culture and sport. The attempts of renewal and reinforcement of economic co-operation were, of course, more difficult until 1990 the progress in co-operation in the domain of economy was not achieved.
