Moreover, the Central Committee was empowered to remove the president.

To be eligible to serve, the president had to be a member of the LCV Executive Committee of the LCV Provincial Committee.

Contents

The office traces its lineage back to the office of "Secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia for Vojvodina", established sometime in 1919. As a provincial committee, the Vojvodina communists had no distinct rights and were under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Central Committee. The LCY 6th Congress on 2–7 November 1952, renamed the party League of Communists, and the Vojvodina branch followed suit and changed its name to League of Communists of Vojvodina. On 4 October 1966, the 5th Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the LCY 8th Congress abolished the office of General Secretary at the national level and replaced with the office of President. The LSC Central Committee convened a meeting in 1966 that abolished the office of secretary and established the "President of the Provincial Committee of the League of Communists of Vojvodina". The reforms passed by the LCY Central Committee plenum strengthened the powers of the provincial branches of Kosovo and Vojvodina and gave more powers to the LCV party leader. In 1981, the LCV introduced another set of reforms that abolished the existing office and replaced it with the "President of the Presidency of the Provincial Committee of the League of Communists of Vojvodina". This office was retained until 17 July 1990, when the League of Communists of Serbia changed its name to the "Socialist Party of Serbia".

The office of leader of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) was first established on 23 April 1919 under the name "Political Secretary of the Central Committee". However, in reality, power in this period was shared in a collective leadership with the "Organisational Secretary of the Central Committee". When the office of political secretary changed its name in November 1936 to "General Secretary of the Central Committee", the position became more powerful. It kept that name until its abolishment on 4 October 1966, when it was replaced by the "President of the Central Committee". This office lasted until 4 May 1980, when Tito died and was replaced with the "President of the Presidency of the Central Committee". With several branches having already left the LCY, the remaining members of the Central Committee of the 13th Congress established the office of "Coordinator of the Presidency of the Central Committee" on 23 May 1990. Three days later, on 26 May, the 14th Congress rejourned and elected a provisional leadership, with the leader holding the office of "Chairman of the Committee for the Preparation of the Congress of Democratic and Programmatic Renewal of the Central Committee". The officeholder was for most of its existence the de facto leader of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
