In the former Yugoslavia, a great holiday was celebrated on this day - Youth Day – May 25 and the President's birthday Josip Broz Tito, reminds "Style".

Youth Day was a national holiday with many events and a closing ceremony at the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) stadium in Belgrade, where Tito was presented with the famous Baton of Youth. It was previously broadcast throughout Yugoslavia, and it lasted for months. The last ceremony while Tito was alive took place in 1979.

Although historians later agreed that May 7 was the actual birth date of Josip Broz Tito, May 25 was still celebrated as his birthday after his death.

When handing over the baton, Tito took it over with a suitable short speech, always mentioning that it was previously carried by the hands of young people from Triglav to Gevgelija.

The passing of the baton always started from a different place and from a different republic, and it was always welcomed en masse in the cities of the former Yugoslavia. The baton of youth, as a rule, was handed over by the best and most successful young people, along with a greeting card with wishes for long life and good health.

The youth relay had a different design every year, and it contained messages from the youth of Yugoslavia, about the "beloved president".

Carrying the baton was held for 42 years, until 1987. After the death of Tito, the baton was received by the presidents of the then Union of Socialist Youth of Yugoslavia.

The idea for the relay was born in 1945, from the youth of Kragujevac, whose Department of Sports and Physical Education devised massive youth relay races throughout Yugoslavia.

He handed the first baton to Tito Mika Tripalo, then president of the Central Committee of the People's Youth of Yugoslavia. Seven years after Tito's death, at the last Youth Day celebration, Raimonda Brochaj handed over the baton to nand Haim Redzepi, then president of the Union of Socialist Youth of Yugoslavia.

Today, May 25, thousands of people continue to visit Tito's grave in Belgrade at the "House of Flowers" as well as the Museum of the History of Yugoslavia.
