Order of The Yugoslav Crown
- Order of The Yugoslav Crown
King Alexander I of Yugoslavia instituted the Order of The Yugoslav Crown on 5 April 1930, to commemorate his changing of the name of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. He ascended the Throne in 1921. During a political crisis in 1929 the strong separatist movements within the country forced the King to temporarily suspend the Constitution to declare a dictatorship and to place greater emphasis on national unity, which resulted in the name of the country to Yugoslavia. The Order was organized in five classes as follows:
* First Class
* Second Class
* Third Class
* Fourth Class
* Fifth Class
The order was awarded to Yugoslavian citizens who enhanced national unity or for merit towards the Crown or State in public service, as well as to the foreign nationals who had assisted the country. The Order of the Yugoslav Crown was senior to Order of St. Sava.
The Order is conferred by the Crown.
