The resolution of 29 Nov 1943 referred to the new federal state as "Yugoslavia" without qualifications. Over time, however, "Democratic Federal Yugoslavia" gradually entered official usage.

Prior to the establishment of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 27 Apr 1992, the constituent republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia proclaimed their independence: Slovenia on 25 Jun 1991, Croatia on 25 Jun 1991, Macedonia on 17 Sep 1991, and Bosnia and Herzegovina on 6 Mar 1992.
