Central Committee of the 4th Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia

This electoral term of the Central Committee was elected by the 4th Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) in 1928, and was in session until the convocation of the 5th Congress in 1948. Mid-term elections were organised by the 4th Conference in 1934 and the 5th Conference in 1940. A Temporary Leadership was established in 1938; it received the approval of the Communist International in 1939, in the aftermath of the purge of the CPY, which killed several leading Central Committee members.
