a Between 1945-53, the President of the Assembly was also the Yugoslav head of state. From 14 January 1953 the president of the assembly was no longer head of state, but was succeeded in that role by the office of the President of Yugoslavia which was first occupied by Josip Broz Tito, and held by him up to his death in 1980.

Ivan Ribar (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [ǐvan rîbaːr]; 21 January 1881 - 2 February[1] 1968) was a Yugoslav politician and soldier of Croatian descent. He was born in Vukmanić (part of Karlovac). He had a PhD in law.

In politics, he was:

  • President of the Royal Parliamentary Assembly, 1920–22
  • President of Executive Committee, Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia, 26 October 1942 – 4 December 1943
  • Chairman of the Presidium of the Provisional People's Assembly, 4 December 1943 – 5 March 1945
  • Chairman of the Presidium of the National Assembly, 29 December 1945 – 14 January 1953

Ribar lost his entire family during World War II: his two sons, Jurica and Ivo, and his wife, Tonica.[clarification needed] His sons fought for the Partisans against the Italian Fascists. Ivo Lola Ribar, his younger son, was in charge of the Young Communist League of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) during the war, and was proclaimed posthumously a People's Hero of Yugoslavia.[2]

Death

Ivan Ribar died in Zagreb in 1968, aged 87.[2]
