The Iron and Steel Federation
20 The official name of the Yugoslav Iron and Steel Federation at Belgrade is
"Zajednica Jugoslovenski Zeljezara Top leaders of the Communist Party
of Yugoslavia (CPY) are opposed to the independence of the Federation.
They insist upon placing the Federation under the control of the Yugoslav
Federal Chamber of Industry in Belgrade. One of the proponents of this
move is Milentije Popovic, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Economy.
VuAmanovic-Tempo, however, is opposed to the move because of the import-
ance of the Federation to military industry. There is also a plan for
the centralization of the entire iron and steel industry and business
under the control of the Iron. and Steel Federation, so that the Federation
will be permitted to buy abroad directly raw materials, coal and coke needed
by the members of the Federation. The Federation is presently paying one
and one-half per cent commission and other costs to the Jugometal agency
in Belgrade for the purchase of coal and coke from abroad on behalf of
Federation members.
