In the midst the partisan resistance struggle, in December 1941 the Young Communist League of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) took the initiative to start building the Popular Liberation Youth League of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Narodnooslobodilačkog saveza omladine Bosne i Hercegovine, abbreviated NOSOBiH), as a mass organization to seeking to unite Muslim, Croat and Serb youth to fight the Axis occupation.
[5] The 1st congress of the United Antifascist Youth League of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Ujedinjenog saveza antifašističke omladine Bosne i Hercegovine, abbreviated USAOBiH) was held in Sarajevo May 5–9, 1945.
[6] After the war, USAOBiH transformed into the People's Youth of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Narodne omladine Bosne i Hercegovine, abbreviated NOBiH).
[7] NOBiH then transformed into the Youth League of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez omladine Bosne i Hercegovine, abbreviated SOBiH).
[8][9] The other members of the SOBiH Secretariat were Miomira Gerun, Rada Stanar, Mehmedalija Sarajlić, Mustafa Dulizarević and Ivo Cvitković.
[10] The SSOBiH publication Naši dani would print criticisms of the government, moves that contributed to making it the foremost political newspaper in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a fortnightly circulation of up to 100,000 issues.
[10] In September 1989 SSOBiH openly criticized the role of the party leadership, using the label 'the Bosnian silence' (a term that instantly became controversial).
[10] The October 1980 Political Manifesto of SSOBiH called multiparty system, market economy and abolition of death penalty.
[10] At the time of the 10th congress of the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SKBiH), held in December 1989, SSOBiH and Kadić voiced support for the 'ZAVNOBiH Initiative', which called for multiparty pluralism.
[10] The group around Kadić presented a document that called for a federal Yugoslavia, removing the word 'socialist' from the name of the republic, multiparty system, market economy and de-politicization of all state institutions.
[10] On May 25, 1990 SKBiH mobilized a mass rally for Youth Day, calling for a united Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[10] The organization produced a wide array of promotional products for its campaign – pens, badges, balloons, raincoats, paper bags and condoms.
[27] In mid-1991 SSO-DS changed name to the Liberal Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Liberalna stranka Bosne i Hercegovine, abbreviated LSBiH).
